... unless there's a "Sender:" header, in which case _that's_ the person who send the email, and the "From:" header names the "true sender" of the message. [Every once in a while the Emacs mailing list gets email from Donald Knuth, who as you may have heard, has sworn off the use of email. In these messages, "From:" is Knuth himself, and "Sender:" is his secretary, who is the person that actually sent the message.] -Miles p.s.
