They're talking about auto-forwarding, not people resending a message 
they received. For instance, mail to bar...@alum.mit.edu is 
automatically forwarded by the alum.mit.edu server to my ISP email 
address. Many people also have vanity domains with auto-forwarding 
enabled like this.

Who should the sender be changed to?  AFAIK, it has never been standard 
practice to rewrite the sender when simply forwarding to an alias, which 
is what this is.
