No, that was rhetorical questions ;-)

The MUAs are not as important, as they are as people -- can
do strange things ;-)

More important is, that this header passes the header_syntax
and header_sender verify, thus one can expect that all exim's
expansions can do its job with it and will provide reliable output.
But as you clearly show, that it is not case of ${address:...}.

As From: header can contain multiple addresses (by definition),
it can be more appropriate to use ${addresses:...} and it works,
as Jeremy shown. But in this case it contains only one address
string (while not RFC compliant).

In any case, the exim's behavior is inconsisten, if it is
considered as broken it have to be broken in all cases
not only in some. Any devs opinion/decision?
