Agreed.
I think that there are two problems that we haven't solved relating to
address books.
1) a standard header which says, "The stuff in the From: address is useless,
please don't remember". It might also indicate the whole "this mailbox
is not monitored" business.
2) a standard header which says, "If you want to remember who this was from,
you should record XYZ"
Of course, From: was supposed to be (2), and we also have Sender:,
and we have the SMTP From which was supposed to be for errors.
(2) might really be a no-op with no legitimate use, and/or it might have
some significant downside.
