Here is a clarification of this problem. This problem only occurs in the Inbox. If I re-file these emails into another folder, they magically display the correct information about the sender.
Ah-ha! I figured it out. When you request in the preferences, that all "sent" messages be placed in the Inbox, it reverses the sender and receiver in the Inbox. By having all "sent" messages placed into any other folder such as the Sent Folder, everything is listed properly. This was not an issue in Navigator/ Communicator, so there is something that needs to be changed to fix this bug. My preference is to have all messages, both sent and received in one folder for easy referencing or to follow a complete thread.
