Thanks for the moral support.  Message origin is subtle business.
In addition to "Sender" which is used by mailing lists and other
proxy agents, there is also "Resent-From" and friends.  I am rather
partial to "forwarding" messages not in-line or as attachments,
but as "resent" messages.

MUAs should expose message origin when different from author.
