Implemented David Tamkin's suggestions (thanks!); $FROM includes caret
at its beginning, non-sendmail MTA:s are likely to ignore EXITCODE,
and locking /dev/null should be harmless in newer versions.
Just checked: The FAQ is now about seven times the size of version 1.0

FROM "macro" was slightly broken and would wrap in the text-only
rendering. Clarified and rehashed some passages slightly (notably a
new paragraph on random exit codes) and fixed a couple of botches in
the markup. More Sendmailisms should probably be pointed out.
