Avoiding it by redefining From: to serve the former purpose of Sender: and
creating a new Author: to serve the former purpose of From: seems to me to
start us down a long road of new header fields every couple of years. They
are just names.

Verifying that the message really is from phisher.example is a useful data
point. The receiving system can choose to mark it with a warning like "you
never had mail before from phisher.example".

Consider a DMARC DNS tag for the bank to ask the receiving system to verify
the From, while the end-user system would not use that tag. I think this is
the distinction that should be made, for mailing lists to work but
sensitive data to be more protected than end-user mail.
