The EAI WG found it was fine to remove the obligation to have an email address part in the mandatory RFC5322.From header, leaving only the display part to assert the original author.
So it seems that "IETF" is not completely in agreement on how to preserve the original author in emails. So I think the example showed by Terry is as good as what is in EAI and this is a matter of taste and UI designs, UI design and functions that usually the IETF avoids to deal with...

In Outlook desktop I have to also copy/paste the From: address (mailing list). It’s not ideal in Outlook desktop, but I can live with it. In this email discussion, I hit Reply-All and includes Ted on the To:, and dmarc@ietf.org and i...@ietf.org on the cc.

Otherwise this would be a great solution. But because of the way it interacts with MUAs, I do not think it would work in a way that doesn’t violate the principle of least surprise. _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list dmarc@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
