Hello,

I agree with Stephen.

We all, but specially MUA developer/maintainer, fail to teach the user
what the technical meaning of RFC5322.From is.
It is simply text choosed by message originator, no difference to RFC5322.subject

Users expect this to be something other. That's the problem.

So we created these horrible zoo named SPF, DKIM, DMARC and ARC.
And what's the result?

RFC5322.From contain something I use to name "Display Name"
All the authentication tech ignore this part.
But what do MUAs present as "FROM" ?
Most of the time exactly this last piece of unauthenticated data.

All, what BIMI could do, is to teach
"Hey User, this message from $BRAND is only valid if you also see $BRAND's logo"

So BIMI sounds to me like an authentication method for the display name.
I would say, we failed...
