    Instead of "real", how about "a stable address that uniquely identifies
    the AGENT who sent the message".

I know I just sent my other message, and so no-one has seen it
yet, and all will have before they see this one, but to say it
aain with less other stuff preceding...

I think I prefer the distinction between "real" and "unreal" (or
whatever) addresses as being that the "real" address is one that
the mailer has determined belongs to the entity that submitted the
message, whereas the "unreal" (From:) address is the way the
submitter prefers to identify herself, and could be anything at
all (it is certainly not verified).   No more than that.
