Steps to reproduce:

Today I received an phishing email, very well formed, very clean, and it landed in my Inbox, up to here, why not.

But the message was failing SPF and DMARC with p=quarantine (which means "flag it or something").

See the headers:

Authentication-Results: mailin008.protonmail.ch; dmarc=fail (p=quarantine dis=none) header.from=wetransfer.com
Authentication-Results: mailin008.protonmail.ch; spf=fail smtp.mailfrom=noreply@wetransfer.com
Authentication-Results: mailin008.protonmail.ch; dkim=none

Actual results:

The email was displayed normally like any other.

Expected results:

I would have enjoyed a visual hint telling me, at least, that the email may not come from the address it tells it comes from.
