In that case, the message is pseudonymous, not anonymous.

I don't think Mail-NG really needs to support pseudonymous mail. Maybe 
it should support anonymous mail, though.

Of the following three cases, I think the last can be definitely 
excluded as a design goal:

1) The labelled sender verifiably is the sender (for suitable 
definitions of all that).
2) There is no labelled sender, and the message cannot be traced to its 
originator (using means internal to Mail-NG).
3) There is a labelled sender, but it cannot be verified (as RFC822 today)

The first is IMO worth supporting, the second may be.
