I *think* your mail client's behaviour is incorrect as the "Sender:" 
header is for MTAs only.

Here are some hints about it, although I didn't find it a must or 
mustn't item.

In "Internet Message Format"[1] (RFC 2822) one can read:

    If a reply is sent to a message
    that has destination fields, it is often desirable to send a copy of
    the reply to all of the recipients of the message, in addition to the
    author.  When such a reply is formed, addresses in the "To:" and
    "Cc:" fields of the original message MAY appear in the "Cc:" field of
    the reply, since these are normally secondary recipients of the
    reply.  If a "Bcc:" field is present in the original message,
    addresses in that field MAY appear in the "Bcc:" field of the reply,
    but SHOULD NOT appear in the "To:" or "Cc:" fields.


See also point "3.6.2. Originator fields" in that RFC.



"A.2.  ORIGINATOR ITEMS" in RFC822[2]:

         George Jones logs in as Jones on his  host.   His  secre-
         tary,  who logs in as Secy sends mail for him.  Replies to the
         mail should go to George.

             From:    George Jones <Jones at Group>
             Sender:  Secy at Other-Group
