At some point in the past, Gmail decided to show the email address only
unless that address was in the recipient's contact list, or if the
recipient had replied to that address previously, or something like that.
In those cases, the RFC5322.From address was trusted, and so the display
name was shown.  Is there logic like that still in place?

Any other UI developers got a policy here?
