Thus, if the header is like this: Jeroen van Baardwijk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> all that is displayed is "Jeroen van Baardwijk". And that's what you did. Your messages also had the forged return address in the "Return Path" header. And no matter what the browser displays, that doesn't excuse the use of a return address that isn't yours to use. That's like saying it's okay for you to use my name as long as people can see that it isn't really yours to use... which would still be impersonation.
