Ok.

Empirical data #1: web browsers[*] seem to be standardizing on displaying the 
address bar in green when the user goes to a web site with an Extended 
Validation SSL certificate.

Empirical data #2: there seems to be industry-wide[*] consensus that #1 is a 
good step forward.

Empirical data #3: users[*] seem to be accepting #1 in good terms.

Question: Could something akin to that be achieved in MUAs, leveraging both 
DMARC *and* EV SSL certificates, for example coloring in green the From: field 
which is displayed to the user (in MUA which happen to do that[*]).


[*]Exceptions may be found, caveat emptor.
