User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to find a column for the real adress of an incoming maillist

Actual results:

The Thinderbird EMail List does not show the real adress of the incoming Mail - list.

Expected results:

Hello, one of the most important functions of an e-mail programme is to recognise at first glance where the message is coming from. Unfortunately, the list view always only shows the name but not the sender's address. So you cannot recognise whether it is a spam message. While googling I came across an addon that unfortunately does not work for the latest Thunderbird version.

Why is such an extremely important function no longer possible when it was possible before? I really urge you to implement this function! How many fewer viruses would then have a chance, because everyone would immediately recognise that the name does not match the e-mail address at all.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

So you cannot recognise whether it is a spam message.

An email address is NOT some way to recognize if something is a spam message. It can easily be spoofed anyway.

In which exact version was it possible?
