Which, while odd, is standards-compliant...

Of course -- it does *not* use Outlook, OE, Eudora or any other 
mailer for doing its Email.  It has its own SMTP sending code so it 
has to create its own headers...

No.

Except it "usually" will be...

SirCam grabs some settings from the Internet Account Manager registry
key, including the user's Email address and display name.  It uses
those two for its "from" information headers (envelope and message).  
Thus, From: will be "correct" if the victim machine has a correctly 
configured IE, OE or Outlook (?) installation (and maybe other things 
use the IAM keys/values too?).
