Strictly speaking, yes: they are very different things.

The envelope sender and recipient are the two guys really involved in the mail transaction, as source and destination respectively.

The From: and To: headers belong to the message itself, the meaning it is supposed to convey.

For example, let's suppose you asked me to redirect Doug's reply, because you've erroneously deleted it; one would then have something like this:

	sender: me
	recipient: you
	From: Doug
	To: applescript-users

Moreover, if you don't fill the From: and To: fields, you may be at the mercy of the actions that the involved software(s) may undertake (or not).
