Not sure which "Apple Mail Reader" you are referring to. Here's Mail.app:



So this is definitely an issue of your mail reader doing something wrong.
I've tried this with two Android mail readers, the mail reader on my iPad and Mail.app on my Mac. In all cases I get the name of the sender. This must be a specific setting that you have (likely you opted for "show address before name" or something like that)

I think, this is worse than people with misconfigured DMARK and DKIM cannot post to the mailing list (note that the problem is on the sender side since those people have too strict rules when posting to mailing lists, not on the receivers’ end).

I respectfully disagree. DMARC and DKIM are well established and useful. And most mailing lists handle this in one of three ways: ignore (what I did until yesterday) and have it fail for users,  rewrite from header (what I am doing now), or wrap emails in new envelopes (which looks really ugly, IMHO, and does actually cause the problem that you describe here "for real", i.e. without an easy workaround.
