The only time I have found that setting the Sender to be necessary is
when sending commands to a listserv subscription routine.  No matter
what the From: said, it would always reply to the Sender: and use that
address for taking action on.

It didn't make any sense to me and I argued about it at work a bit but
the easiest way was to just set my Sender: manually
