How about this (to better conform to the current language):
Note: The transmitter information is always present. The absence of

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?
Well, yes, except for the wording in:
... to mean that the agent responsible for transmission of the
message has not been specified explicitly.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After all, it *is* true that this information has not been
specified *explicitly*, it has been specified implicitly.
