We all filter on From:.  If you know the domain is well-behaved, what's
the point of using i= rather than From: ?

This thread has a basic flaw:  it is predicated on a a particular 
interpretation
of i=, which is undocumented and certainly not standardized.

Of course, but a signature bearing a "d=" representing an ADMD with which I 
have an a priori arrangement to interpret "i=" in a particular way could be 
useful.  Such out-of-band arrangements certainly can't be standardized, but 
that doesn't mean there's no possible use for it at all anywhere, does it?
