DKIM: signer address

2005-07-15 00:57:47

The term "signer address" is mentioned several times in the draft.
Section 6.6 contains the following:

  In order to retain the current semantics and visibility of the From
  header field, verifying mail agents SHOULD take steps to ensure
  that the signing address is prominently visible to the user if it
  is different from the From address. If MUA implementations that
  highlight the signed address are not available, this MAY be done
  by the validating MTA or MDA by rewriting the From address in a
  manner which remains compliant with [RFC2822]

Maybe I'm up too late, but I cannot find anywhere in the draft
where the signer address is actually presented within the email
message.

It appears the i= tag of DKIM-Signature is the closest thing, but
it is optional.
