Sendmail masquerades the email? Take a look at the header of the email
you sent (the one with the wrong email address) and see if it is working
properlly. If you could send here the header of the email sent with balsa
it would be great.

Another thing. You set you the E-mail address to 
andrew.thomas@dial.pipex.com and the mail server to "local mail user
agent" or remote SMTP server with local host? Try using the "local mail
user agent".
