The sender is still present in the From on my end. Here's what I see in 
your message:

To: boost_at_[hidden]
From: Steven Watanabe via Boost <boost_at_[hidden]>
Reply-To: boost_at_[hidden]
Cc: Steven Watanabe <watanabesj_at_[hidden]>
Sender: "Boost" <boost-bounces_at_[hidden]>

Your message contains Reply-To, so when I hit Reply the composed message 
is correctly addressed to boost_at_lists.boost.org.
