Probably because most people recognize display names over email addresses?
I mean, I'd recognize Inigo Montoya before
(E-Mail Removed). But
that's not speaking with any knowledge of why, just guessing.
Well, that and they probably didn't want to have to break up the From: field
in the RFC2822 header since a) More code to write (and which could then
also break) and b) More data to store, since you'd have to store the
original header, the broken apart Display name and the broken apart email
address.
