Thanks, but that is not what I was talking about.
The issue has nothing to do with using someone else's
address on purpose.
I sent an email which appeared to be from someone else,
but I took no action to make this happen.
The issue had to do with resolution of the name of the
sender from the recipiennt's account inside the email
message. Why would it resolve incorrectly to another
person's name (which just happened to have the same two
letters at the beginning of the account name)?
