 Carsten N. from JonDos suggested that we set `mailnews.headers.showSender`
 to `true`; doing this will show the `Sender` header in the message pane.

 In a nutshell: setting this to `true` can help enhance X509 certificate
 validation where an attacker may use a fake `From` header. This is not a
 complete solution but it may help attacks described in the article
 http://heise.de/-2044405.

 It was also suggested to make this a default option in Thunderbird.
