• CHANGE: Changed the order that we check addresses to see if an email is sent from a subscriber. Previously, we checked envelope sender, then From:, then Reply-To:.

Previously, we would stop checking once we found a user account, without considering if the user was a subscriber. This could lead to some instances of the wrong user being selected as the sender of the email, and the email bouncing.
