Agreed. The other day I was trying to refer work to a colleague I’ve only really interacted with on a professional mailing list. Due to header re-writing and no email address in any other place in the email, I didn’t actually have a direct email address for her. It’s also become almost impossible to search for messages from some people in some clients because you can’t search on from: address any longer.
