How about this (to better conform to the current language):
Note: The transmitter information is always present. The absence of
the "Sender:" field is sometimes mistakenly taken to mean that the
agent responsible for transmission of the message has not been
specified explicitly. The absence of the "Sender:" field merely means
that the transmitter is identical to the author, so it is not
redundantly placed into a separate field.
Does that convey the correct information?
