What's the legitimate use case for multiple From headers?

In MM2 it's somewhat configurable -- I just worked with someone who wanted to
remove looking at the Reply-To header -- but yes, it's not as easily
configurable as you might like (well, without modifying the source).  I'd like
to make this easier to configure in Mailman 3, but I want to understand the
use cases first.
