OK, so I seemed to have managed to get this test case past the list
expander at imc.org, so we can wee what it does on a variety of routes
after that (but my example with no From field at all seems to have been
eaten at imc).

So, the first question is:

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO DID NOT RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE AT ALL?

(Have to hold my own hand up here, but I shall poke around to see it it
was lost on my system or whether Spamassassin ate it, or something).

I have recived 5 reports of successful arrival with the From: line
received as sent. There were two reports of mangled display by reading
agents:

From: Lindsey <Charles>
From: Unknown <unknown(_at_)unknown(_dot_)

Neither of which are show stoppers, since both were rendered as sent when
"full headers" was called for.
