I can think of a couple of scenarios in which pasting in a From:
header pointing to a 'nym might be advantageous:
1.) Posts when the nymserver is down, or;
2.) Posts from an insecure location where installation of one's secret
keyring is not desirable. (The "newnym" servers require that send
requests be PGP-signed with the nym's secret key.)
