Comment:

 I don't think this needs to be a core feature.

 A very simple plugin (untested but should work fine) can be used to
 replace the builtin wp_mail function with one that sends from another
 address:

 {{{
 /*
    Plugin Name: Override Email Address
    Description: Allows you to override the email address used by wp_mail
    Author: Peter Westwood
    Version: 0.01
    Author URI: http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/
  */

 function wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers = '') {
         if( $headers == '' ) {
                 $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
                 "From: user at domain \n" .
                 "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"" .
 get_settings('blog_charset') . "\"\n";
         }

         return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
 }
 }}}

 Replacing user at domain in the above plugin and activating it will allow you
 to pick the email address you want the emails to originate from.

 This plugin works because wp_mail is one of the pluggable functions that a
 plugin can override by defining it before WordPress
