Thanks for the update - the enum indeed feels nicer!

as said off-list - please also add this to the GUI

why do you push the list of senders X times to the from_list (X being the
number in that particular from-header line)?
I think the for-loop is simply not needed
In general - if you want to see how some data-structure looks like during
testing - I can recommend adding Data::Dumper statements - with our
services in PMG you can usually log them with syslog e.g.:
```
use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
syslog('err', "DEBUG: ". Dumper($data_for_debug));
```
it's very crude (and the syslog is not the right place for this) but gives
a good overview

if you only use the list for counting - why not use an integer and
increment it or return early above if you have more than one element?

I'd consider a `die` here in case the count !=1 - that way it should be
logged by the actions (but please verify the call-sites) - we do log this
for the current code in sign_entity as well
(was confused why I did not get a warning for a mail without any
from-header)
