Kenneth,

RFC822 says many things in different places.  One of them says that
the Sender: field MUST appear if the From: field is not "correct".
Another says that the Reply-to: supercedes the From: field.  So, in
spite of the "illegality" of the From: field, both the Sender: and the
Reply-to: fields were legal.  Your complaint should have been made to
the maintainer of your mail handler.

--Frank
