User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0
Steps to reproduce:
Receive a mail
Actual results:
Thunderbird displays a macOS native notification with extremely sparse information.
This behaviour cannot be changed by going to 'Thunderbird > Preferences > General > Incoming Mail > Notifications' because 'Customize' is greyed out.
Expected results:
Thunderbird should by default (or at least have an option to) show the sender, subject, and a preview of the mail content. See attached picture for how Apple Mail vs Thunderbird display a mail coming from me with the subject being 'Test1' and the content being 'Test2 test3 test4'.

Resetting severity to default of --.

User has selected all the correct boxes in the MAC notification area. But individual messages are not shown; there is only a notification that there are new messages.

TB 91.2 now shows rather rich notifications. The layout seems to be:
Title: <recipient address> received 1 new message
Subtitle: <mail subject> from <sender name>
<body preview>
The subtitle is configurable: 'mail.biff.alert.show_preview' removes body, 'mail.biff.alert.show_subject' and 'mail.biff.alert.show_subject' remove subject and sender name respectively. Unfortunately I couldn't find how to customize the title; I'd like to make it a bit more useful like showing sender email address as the title. If anyone knows how please share.
