In the pre-DMARC era, we've been mainly using just From:. Sender: is used by Outlook to display "on behalf of" catchphrase, presumably in an attempt to support the historic Sender-Id protocol.

Sorry, no. That is completely wrong. The Sender field has been part of
e-mail since RFC 724 in 1977. The now-dead Sender-ID didn't come along
until the 2000s. Outlook's annoying "on behalf of" at least matches the
intention of the Sender field.


You're right. Outlook was using "on behalf of" even before Marid.[*] So perhaps Sender-ID derived from that usage, rather than the other way around.
