See <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1036>:

2.1.  Required Header lines

2.1.1.  From

    The "From" line contains the electronic mailing address of the
    person who sent the message, in the Internet syntax.  It may
    optionally also contain the full name of the person, in parentheses,
    after the electronic address.
[...]


I don't see anything like "does not need to be the valid address, as
long as humans can decode it somehow manually".

Also the draft for the son of RFC1036 does not contain anything like
this - see
<http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/outerspace/netnews/son-of-1036.html#5.2>:

"The From header contains the electronic address, and possibly the full
name, of the article's author
[...]
The address SHOULD be a valid and complete Internet domain address,
capable of being successfully mailed to by an Internet host [...]"


Again no word about "may be invalid as long as a human is able to decode
it somehow".

But I know what will follow now: You will explain that RFC1036 is quite
old, the draft is also really old and they do not fit current needs and
therefore are not valid any longer.

Of course you would never write your own RFC draft to straighten this
out - because RFCs asking for a valid e-mail address or to keep
signatures within reasonable limits are for pedantic trolls - aren't they?
