Here's some more data for whatever it's worth.


Our spam reports box since Jan 25 shows this style in definite spam:

From: "Get Cialis on www.wa93.com" <heirs...@imagina.es>
From: "Get Tamiflu on www.qa35.com" <inexpedie...@quantumtouch.nl>
From: "Cheap Tamiflu on www.nu36.com" <acetome...@detweedekeer.nl>



This style was in a message in Portuguese (?) that I can't read, but
it was reported as spam:

From: "www.vicentecorretor.com" <vicentecorreto...@bol.com.br>



This style was in a newsletter that appears to be legitimate although
it was reported as spam:

From: "News and alerts from www.MindFreedom.org" <mindfreedom-n...@intenex.net>



Outlook might send mail where it creates a dummy personal name out of
the address, e.g.

From: 'u...@www.example.com' <u...@www.example.com>

While this is routine in To and Cc fields, I do not have a real
example of it in a From field, so I can't be sure it happens.
