Re: Issue with "on behalf of" with outlook

Disable it by altering resend script to remove the "Sender: ..." lines
from the outgoing message.

Thanks,

This response doesn't acknowledge the specific meaning of "on behalf of"

in an Outlook/Exchange environment, or how Microsoft has misused a 
standard header to implement it.

"On behalf of" is used to indicate when a message is originated by 
person X using person Y's identity -- IN THE CASE where X is designated 
by Y as a delegate.

In this case, Microsoft should have done something like setting up an 
X-Delegated-To: header or some such, so the intent is clear.

Instead, they co-opted the use of the Sender: header, in a way that 
implies that every use of it is a delegation, which it is not.

People should complain to Microsoft to fix this mess.
