How about this (to better conform to the current language):

Note: The transmitter information is always present. The absence of 
the "Sender:" field is sometimes mistakenly taken to mean that the 
agent responsible for transmission of the message has not been 
specified explicitly. The absence of the "Sender:" field merely means 
that the transmitter is identical to the author, so it is not 
redundantly placed into a separate field.

Does that convey the correct information?
