Revision: 5531
Add a specification for the Original-Sender header field as requested
during Last Call comments and have incoming gateways use it to preserve
the original Sender header field. Include its registration in the
IANA Considerations section.
This specification may move to USEFOR as part of the final publication
process of both documents.
