Thanks JMarc. That sheds some light. It is quite curious that the change 
affects different recipients in different ways, even when we use the 
same mail client (though perhaps not with the same email provider).

In any case, while I would prefer to have the proper sender display 
back, if that can't be done I can accept the "new normal" as the price 
of avoiding your being spammed. :-)
