Due to increasing need of anonymity in newsgroups (swen worm anybody) I suggest that description of FROM: field should have possibility to have non-valid e-mail address and possible a nickname of the person. If e-mail entered in from: -field is non-valid it should contain .invalid domain. Something like: 2.1.1. From The "From" line contains the electronic mailing address of the person who sent the message, in the Internet syntax. If person that send message doesn't want to make his e-mail address public this address doesn't need to be valid. If that case it has to have .invalid domain added to the end of the address. It may optionally also contain the full name or a nickname of the person, in parentheses, after the electronic address.
