Of course, and spammers would be stupid to not abuse the

I don't understand why anybody is developing such stupid mail clients that
display either one or the other, or do any transformations on the From:
header at all, instead of just displaying it as is...
Does anybody have any reasonable explanation for that?
I don't have MUA statistics, but the one I use only show display-name only in
the message list pane, where horizontal space is never enough. One has to open
the message to see full addresses, full subject (if longer than so much),
authentication status and, of course, the content.
Anyway, rhetorically, if the quest if for just the domain name, would it be
safe to omit the local part? And is that related to authentication? I'm
asking because some studies hold that showing authentication results to end
users has no effect...
