Comment:

 In [changeset:"38287"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="38287"
 Mail: Don't set Sender field when setting From.

 [38058] changed `wp_mail()` so that it used PHPMailer's `setFrom()`
 method rather than setting the From and FromName headers directly. See
 behavior of setting the `Sender` field. This causes `mail` to be
 called with the `-f` flag, which causes outgoing email to fail on some
 server environments.

 Merges [38286] to the 4.6 branch.

 Props Clorith, iandunn, DrewAPicture.
 Fixes #37736.
