That's where the human friendly portion of the From: header comes into play.
I.e.
From: Grant Taylor <gtay...@tnetconsulting.net>

Both methods tell you who wrote the message content.
Do you have any doubt about who wrote the first four lines of this

Mailman-Users) cause you to believe that I wrote "Quite right. … list
alias."?
Or does the fact that there is quoting "> " change that?
