I got a very confusing mail message today.
It said it was `From: xxx`, and xxx was asking why they'd been invited
to a meeting. Which was weird, since they'd _created_ the meeting.
However when someone else replied, it made sense, because the quoted
message no longer said `From: xxx`, it said `From: yyy on behalf of
xxx`.
That didn't totally make sense, really it was the other way around, but
at least I could now see the real sender.
So I went back to the original mail to see what the headers said.
From: yyy
Sender: xxx
What happened was that yyy scheduled a meeting. In Outlook (and some
other calendars), there's an option to reply to the people in the
meeting by making a comment in the calendar. Apparently Exchange sends
the comment out with the `From` of the original calendar creator, but
the `Sender` of the person who made the comment.
But it got me to wondering whether there was a way to show the sender in
the from line when they were different. Mainly that would show up for
mailing lists:
From: J Smith (sent by mailing list)
