I can see the logic. Just because a message comes from Tim.trent@COMPLIANCEANDPRIVACY.COM it does not necessarily mean that someone called Tim Trent sent the message. The real sender may have been Mickey Mouse. Many people use a different version of their name for an email address than the name they are known by.
