Description Mark Holmquist 2014-08-25 16:31:00 UTC 
I just received this email (in relevant part):

> From: Meta <wiki@wikimedia.org>
> To: MarkTraceur (WMF) <mholmquist@wikimedia.org>
> Subject: Your user rights have changed on Meta

My mail client did not display the (WMF) to me in the human-readable view, because that syntax designates a comment. It should be made clear in the message body which account is being acted on, because I was convinced at first that my account had been tampered with, as [[:m:User:MarkTraceur]] has a very different mailing address.
Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2014-08-25 17:49:33 UTC 
Don't get it. What would you have expected?
> To: "MarkTraceur (WMF)" <mholmquist@wikimedia.org>
instead? What kind of "syntax designates a comment" by which definition?
Comment 2 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2014-08-25 19:17:51 UTC 
I clarified the bug summary to what I think Mark was getting at.
Comment 3 Mark Holmquist 2014-08-25 20:33:08 UTC 
Basically. The "(WMF)" in the raw header got taken out of the display, because it's a comment based on http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt

I'd like the message body to include the account name for clarity.
Comment 4 Bartosz Dziewoński 2014-08-25 20:34:25 UTC 
Sounds like a bug with "(WMF)" accounts names to me :>
