I doubt seeing "onlinevenmoforwarderserver@gmail.com" would raise any red flags for your average non tech savy person that gets scammed, so making it more visible probably wont help that many people. And people that are able to tell if a mail adress is legit probably already knows how to expand that "sender's adress"

No, on the contrary I think seeing it would be a red flag, especially if the user has been seeing what Venmo's real email address looks like and has become accustomed to it. People notice things if you give them the chance to, and they will learn from it too. Removing things so they don't notice will only keep them ignorant. Here's an interesting comment tree related to that, around the similar subject of hiding URLs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23516774 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23516774
