Greg you are being a bit silly here.

The names match, but the company's email naming
policy is not "first last" but "last, first".

People generally sign their names "first last".

Nothing is broken but your desire for exact name
matching.

If this was an actual "From:" line in the body of
the email, you'd be more likely correct that the
names don't match, but this is not that case.
