RemoveDisplay is a software that implements a PMDF channel to remove the "display name" from the header of an email. It is a powerful anti phishing solution that permits to display the true From field of an email in the user email client. The "display name" is the component of the email header From field that is typically displayed by the email clients. The phishing emails are composed by inserting a fake display name (for example the name of known delivery companies). When the recipient opens the email it will see such a "display name", but not the email from address. RemoveDisplay forces the client to display the from address instead of the display name that has been removed.
