decmips 7.7G: /usr/lib/sendmail doesn't insert Sender: if I insert From:

daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (bruce_lewis@MIT.EDU)
Wed Dec 7 11:19:47 1994

From: bruce_lewis@MIT.EDU
To: bugs@MIT.EDU
Cc: bruce_lewis@MIT.EDU
Date: Wed, 07 Dec 1994 11:19:32 EST

System name:		joy
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.7G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?

Send an email message from admin-techinfo with myself listed as the
sender.  (Some mail clients don't respect Reply-to:)

What's wrong:
	Although I was not root, no Sender: line was inserted by
sendmail, even though the From address was clearly not me.

What should have happened:
	There should be a header -  Sender: brlewis@MIT.EDU
	I'm pretty sure I remember this happening in some previous
release.
