  It was indeed an ssmtp configuration item.  I had to uncomment the
"FromLineOverride" setting, like so...

# Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
# use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
FromLineOverride=YES

  Certainly seems counter-intuitive to me.  Anyhow, the "From:" now goes
out the way I set it.  And Envelope-sender follows along.
