Yeah, but this is the overriding assumption for any display to the user: 
that the user is going to do the reputation assignment. Now, if the 
signature is verified, the verifying domain matches the From: header, and I 
know and trust the owner of the sending account, then I'm going to be 
fairly confident. Of course, there's always the possibility that the 
account has been compromised, though...
