I't will be on the headers surely, but I think the best approach on this

the Return-Path in the From: feader  and throw the old From: (forgable) 
to the X-Whatever header. So, the common user will see who sent the 
message, 

Hmm.  It will be annoying to users with better MUAs, and power users.
But it might be worth it.  You should make an effort to preserve the
original From header when it can be confirmed by some means.  Trusted
forwarders, or Domains Keys, or SES, for example.
