Re: [Slim] Variations in display names

Hi Brian,

Thanks very much for asking others to look at the draft.

The restriction was added in the latest version to attempt to avoid the
issue highlighted in the paragraph I added to the security considerations.
I don't mind either relaxing the restriction or removing it completely as
long as it is clear enough that the impersonation risk is there and that
the From values in the language message parts correspond to the same sender.

I am assuming that the differences that your user requires are cosmetic
rather than a different email address.

There may be confusion because the email listing (eg. inbox list of
summaries) is likely to show the top-level sender but the detail (when
clicked on) is likely to show the From value in the selected part.

Nik.
