There is no "display from". I use Thunderbird and it reports the "from"

Outlook never used to. It always used to display the "on behalf of"
stuff.
They use the "From:" address. It's a standard specified in an RFC.
Oh, well Microsoft has never violated an RFC, so I'm sure you're right.
GMail does not generate an "on behalf of" header either. I just tested
it. I've sent an email through GMail's SMTP. Here are the relevant
headers of the email that arrived. "my_other_address" is what I used as
"From:"
Return-path: <rea...@gmail.com>
Envelope-to: my_other_address
Sender: Nikos Chantziaras <rea...@gmail.com>
From: my_other_address
The OP mentioned that the problem is that he wants to subscribe to a
mailing list, but that list sends the verification mail to the "Sender:"
address rather than the "From:" address. Which sounds very weird to me.
If you want to subscribe the "From:" address to a list, why would they
want to verify the "Sender:" address instead? Makes no sense.
