Thats actually the reason why I changed the displayed value from fullname
<email> to indentity <email>.
But you are right: This is somehow irritating. I'm not clear what would be the
best combination to display. As Atif made clear it's important to see the
identity name. I think the email address is important as well. But how can we
display it to make sure that it's not misunderstandable.
What about: Emailaddress (Identity) ?
