The From: header in the munged message contains the sender's display
name as in

From: Jane Doe via ListName <listname at example.com>

and depending on list settings the original From: is in either Reply-To:
or Cc:.

If this is not sufficient, perhaps the recipients can use smarter email
clients ;)

Also, if you are Munging the From: on all messages via the from_is_list
setting, it is better to use dmarc_moderation_action for this so only
those From: headers that need it are munged. The only reason to use
from_is_list is if those users whose domains publish DMARC reject or
quarantine policy feel they are singled out and treated as second class
users.
