Lists like these would be better with some more explanations for the less obvious bullet points. For instance, when/why would an email have multiple From addresses?

Yeah, that one took me by surprise. I had no idea that multiple from addressees was possible. I wonder how many (popular today) email clients support that (for sending and/or for receiving)?

Tl;dr it’s intended for messages with multiple collaborating authors, but is rarely used in practice.

I'd deem it useful, though unusable in practise, as GMail for example does not accept messages that contain multiple From addresses.
