Asking you to recommend Outlook is not something I would do. :-)

I have not tested Outlook.  Please do correct me if what I wrote is 
incorrect.  That MUA uses "Delegate Name on behalf of Manager Name" 
in the "From: header.  That's not what is in RFC 5322.

Here are some headers from a message:

   Return-Path: <[removed]@bounce.linkedin.com>
   Received: from maile-ed.linkedin.com (maile-ed.linkedin.com

   Message-ID: <[email protected]>
   Subject: Invitation to connect on LinkedIn
   MIME-Version: 1.0

         boundary="----=_Part_6815668_1839834165.1399275758986"

The email address in the "From:" header did not contain 
"linkedin.com" as the domain.  According to 
https://help.linkedin.com/app/safety/answers/detail/a_id/37021

   "Phishing is a common tactic that cyber criminals use to try and steal your
    information and your money."

How do I determine whether that message was not from someone trying 
to steal information?   How would linkedin.com send an invitation if 
the domain required permission to appear in the "From:" 
header?  There isn't a "Sender:" header in the above headers.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
