No, that's wrong. That reverses the meaning of the paragraph. I 
should have pasted the whole paragraph in, as I think I might have 
confused things by showing only that line. Here's the new wording of 
the entire note:

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. The absence of the "Sender:" field merely means that the 
transmitter is identical to the author and is therefore not 
redundantly placed into a separate field.
