When "Your Name" is changed in Account Settings the name in the From field in
new composed mail does not change. Had to go into the prefs.js file and manually
edit the setting "user_pref("mail.identity.idx.fullName", "UserFoo");" to get
correct information to show in From. This is with multiple accounts, have not
verified with single account.

Reproducible: Always

1.goto Edit/Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings
2.change "Your Name" 
3.click OK
4.click Compose
5.verify if change in "From" did not happen

Actual Results:  
Change did not occur

Expected Results:  
Change the text in the "From" field to current user name

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
