Steps to reproduce:

I am subscribed to a mailing list that reports code patches [*1] which sends each email as "Each Committers Name <list@server.com>" (i.e. name varies for each email while the address is fixed) in "From" header.

http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-patches


Actual results:

TB5.0 somehow started to show wrong sender name which is not really in the message (I think incorrectly makes "an email address is always bound to the same identity" assumption)

Expected results:

The sender column should display precise sender name from "From" header.
