Auto-learning address books are going to have a problem with From lines that
say:
First Last Name Via LISTNAME <listaddress@xxxxxxxxxxx>
since this will hijack "First Last" to point to the list, which is going to
cause all manner of email leaks. Maybe we can do better there.
The above format is already being used by at least one non-IETF
mailing list. Pointing the author's name to the list address is not
a good idea. People looking for a solution will implement what they
can find in the absence of a standard. At some point in time that
solution becomes the real standard even if an ill-timed standard is published.
