Email Software like Outlook is largely responsible for a lot of phishing problems. E.g. email addresses are usually hidden and only visible after a lot of fiddling. Bad UI such as Outlook's makes most users powerless to recognize phishing. The blame should be put where it belongs: with the people responsible for deciding on the fatal Outlook/Exchange combination.

Outlook is not alone. Some email programs also hide the address or headers.
