The way I see this is as follows.
You could argue that roundcube is a server in itself and that true client is the browser on the users PC. From that perspective adding a Sent header makes sense :-) Since this doesn't actually break any RFCs AFAICS and it makes it easier to implement spam filtering at SMTP level I'm not sure I see much problem
