I'm going to ask why it is there at all? I just checked over 50 messages and the only ones I have with the Sender and the Errors headers are those from Mailman. If there are to be RFC compliant - why does no one else have them? (Errors I am guessing are for Mailman - but since it does not read that line...)
(Even my tech bulletins from Microsoft, Apple and Symantec do not have them.)
