Outlook should show real address in the FROM field

I'm receiving some spam as everyone else. I think it would be good to make
outlook to show sender's email address rather than sender's name, which could
be anything especially with spam mail. It would be easier to avoid opening
spam letters.

Sender's name is controlled by the sender, not the recipient.

I don't think that's what he means. He's saying that Outlook should show
the actual e-mail address, even if its showing you the display name, it
should show the e-mail address as well (maybe in brackets beside the
display name).

I know exactly what he means.
So do you really think spammers are revealing their actual email address in
their headers?
I don't.
Answer stands.
