Ah, so I'm not the only person irritated by this guy. Possibly mutt users are the only ones whose MUAs protect them to the extent of hiding the From: altogether.

I'm thinking about getting procmail to rewrite that header as you describe. Maybe (untested): :0whf * ^from:.*<http://[email protected]> | formail -i 'From: Joe User <[email protected]>' ahead of the other rules.
