I wonder if we aren't over thinking here. Maybe I didn't associate a display name with my user record and my alternate address on purpose for my own reasons. Maybe when I subscribe my alternate address to some list, I do it because I don't want my preferred address or its display name associated with this subscription.
I'm not sure we should be mining the data for things that the user may have intentionally not provided.
That's an interesting point, thanks.
The intention in the model is that the user's display name can be used as a fallback for any linked address that has no display name. So I still think it makes sense that if an address with no display name is subscribed and the user record it's linked to does have a display name, we should use that. But if it doesn't, then we don't go hunting around ("mining") for something else to use, especially on a record that's not directly subscribed to the mailing list.
