So it does. I don't think there was any specific reason for this. I
suppose I just didn't think about it. (We don't rewrite From: addresses
here.) Ah. There is *some* logic: the sender address has already been
rewritten, so adding Sender: and then rewriting all the headers does it
twice, which is not desirable. Maybe I was just being lazy. :-)

Now that I think about it, I believe you are right, and I will sort it
out.
Incidentally, I presume you spotted the obvious workaround to your
casing problem? Instead of
*@x.y.z $1@???
you can write
*@x.y.z $local_part@???
Of course, that doesn't work if you are picking out only a part of the
local part.
