Your mailer, Lotus Notes, uses the Sender: header instead of the From:
header to determine the email address of the person who wrote a given
email, which is amazingly broken. My advice to you is to either a)
live with it, b) get a better email program or c) nag the people
behind Lotus Notes until they fix the problem.
