Only via a content filter or milter. There is at this time no feature
that allows you to match a given header address to a preferred display
name and munge the associated header address.
The use of "header_checks" for this is ugly, and would scale to only
a few tens to hundreds of individuals before the regexp table approach
starts to get rather expensive...
Finally, if munging, you should also munge "To" and "Cc", not just "From",
and that is outright impossible with regexp tables.
