My guess is that what's happening is that they've taken the one-time address generated by WDTK for the first request, and then stored that in their system as your address, and any subsequent requests from you are being replied to that address. Or, more simply, whoever is replying is just looking for "Paul Perrin" in their Outlook address book and taking the first match.
(I am making an awful lot of assumptions about how things work currently here but...)

What about instead of sending the message from

"Paul Perrin <[email protected]>"

You do

"Paul Perrin [Title of FOIA Request] <[email protected]>"

Obviously the responder can still screw up and choose the wrong return address, this way does seem like it would make it easier to do the right thing using the erroneous work-flow you described them using.
