The idea is to link nmo:from to separate nco:Contact resources that only
contain a single contact medium, instead of linking to nco:PersonContact
resources that could contain many contact media.

In SPARQL this is most efficiently done as follows:

INSERT {
    _:message a nmo:Email ;
        nmo:from [ a nco:Contact ;
                   nco:hasEmailAddress <mailto:foo bar com>
                 ]
        ...
}

nco:ContactMedium does not allow storing the full name of the
sender/recipient, which means that you could lose data compared to the
information stored in the email header.
