... 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.]

often seems to pick signatures which are apopos to the message at hand!
