OK, odd, it didn't happen this time. I guess I will just wait for it to happen again.
Adding "extern" is something I've seen more and more organizations do to any address that's not from their own company, to make it less likely that people send emails to the wrong place. It's quite annoying, but understandable. The real weirdness is why your MUA is copying it to the From field. Perhaps yo uhave set something up as part of dealing with multiple email addresses?
