I should learn to write clearly. :-)

What I was trying to say was that the intent of sender: is to indicate
"physical" origin and as such shouldn't be a user-settable field.
Reply-to indicates reply address.  These are distinct conceptually,
though often the same in practice.  So, the original posters intent to
use sender was correct...

822 has many examples (whoever came up with the idea of a
secy. mailing on behalf of a bunch of manager types hit a gold mine,
example-wise :-) where it would be totally inappropriate to have
sender and reply-to point to the same person.
