User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.183 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce:
The mailbox contains an email that was sent via a mailing list, with the information
Received: from listserv.gwdg.de ([134.76.10.225])
by mailer.gwdg.de with esmtp (GWDG Mailer)
(envelope-from <qtec-bounces@mpl.mpg.de>)
id xxxxxxx; Wed, 04 Nov 2020 14:01:55 +0100
in the mail header.
The UI displays the original sender as the field "From", and adds the line
Sender qTeC <qtec-bounces@mpl.mpg.de>
Actual results:
The UI displays the orignal sender as the field "From", and adds the line
Sender qTeC <qtec-bounces@mpl.mpg.de>
Moving to another email, the field "Sender qTeC <qtec-bounces@mpl.mpg.de>" is still removed, despite the other email not containing additional sender information.
Expected results:
When moving to another email, the information from the field "Sender" should be removed/updated.

Is the email digitally signed?
Does the header go away when you set the pref: "mailnews.headers.showSender" to true?
(Menu: Tools -> Options -> "General" -> [Config Editor]
Search for the pref and toggle the state.)

Thank you for your feedback.
The email does not have a digital signature.
The behaviour was observed many times, i.e., that after displaying an email from that mailing list, the sender information did stay.
Setting "mailnews.headers.showSender" to true appears to solve the problem.
Nonetheless, I consider the behaviour with the default setting a bug.

Ok, that is also my experience.

Of course. I only ask to narrow down the cause.

Sadly this is an closed mailing list.
Could you attach an anonymized email which still triggers this bug?
