Currently the MUA displays the FROM address to the end user as being the
originator of the email. Once the SUBMITTER extension is in use then the
MUA can do one of two things to stop phishing:-

1. Instead of displaying the FROM address as the originator it can
display the SUBMITTER address. 

  Or 

2. Dump messages where FROM <> SUBMITTER.


I would pefer that the MUA say

From SUBMITTER on behalf of FROM

And it should reply to FROM unless there is a "Reply-To:" Header.
