Ah, but this is precisely the thing mentioned earlier in this thread that
brought up having a header match the envelope.

: What I suggested was putting the envelope sender into the "Sender:" header
: when forwarding (as opposed to relaying).  What's wrong with that?

Duplicating a piece of data that's already there (since MUAs are just as
likely to ignore Sender: as they are to ignore Return-Path:), and destroying
an important piece of data normally used to identify a mailing list.

I don't see the *usefulness* of rewriting Sender: at the same time as the
envelope.
