JFC... I never understood why that "improvement" was necessary in the first place. Now its causing real harm out in the world. Kind of infuriating.

I think it’s MS Outlook that only shows the name in email chain when forwarding. So once the first person tricked forwards the email, info is lost and prevents future readers noticing the phishing email address
I complained to support about Outlook iOS doing this, not just for forwarding... but all received emails display only the name. I receive AppleID phishing attacks constantly to my old hotmail account, Microsoft helpfully sends all them to my inbox and Outlook shows them as from 'Apple' unless I click the sender name and then it shows something like totallynotlegit@paypalappleidscams.tk. Their link scanner is effective around 50% of the time. It's not good enough.
Microsoft does not consider this a bug or a threat in any way. I have been active about this on social media and have had my screenshots and complaints picked up by largish accounts like @swiftonsecurity.
At this point Microsoft is complicit with the phishers. Oh well, not the first time an entire industry thrived off their lack of security.
What improvement are you talking about? Mobile phones truncate the URL bar because phone screens are physically narrow.
Safari doesn't.
