[Gllug] Confusion about the "Sender" field in email headers.

I somehow missed the first post on this the other day!

I have never seen 'Sender:' headers in emails we receive.

My understanding is that the 'From' line at the very start of an email
(not a 'header'!) shows the physical sender,  the 'From:' header shows the
originator, the 'Reply-to:' header shows to whom any reply should be sent.
In the event of no 'reply-to' then the reply should go to the 'From:' address.
