Please chant "we have no idea how MUAs will display mail" over and over 
until you believe it. This includes valid 5322 mail.



So, heck, what's the point in validating anything? After all, the MUA may 
simply display this message as a link to a canadian pharm site!

I think we can be pretty sure that - if there's only one "From:" header - then 
the MUA won't display an unsigned From: header in preference to a signed one.
