He means "envelope sender, not header sender". If anything, the header

Unfortunately both can be forged without much trouble.
Philip (on the procmail list), is there some reason that "formail -r"
seems to be using the From: header rather than the From_ header to
generate the reply address?
I would guess he's using a version of formail before 3.14, as 3.14
and later will prefer the address from the Return-Path: field or
"From " line over the address from the Reply-To: or From: field
when used without the -t option. If that's the case, the
solution/answer is "upgrade".
He reported to me that he's using 3.15.1
