Actually, in both cases, most MUAs will show:
From John Doe
It's the same thing it'll show if this is the From: line
From: John Doe <boris(_at_)phishphest(_dot_)ru>
And likewise with
From: Ebay Customer Services <services(_at_)ebay(_dot_)ru>
With "helpful" MUAs that do such stupid things, we hardly need DKIM at all
