In the 3-pane view, when the header in the message pane is collapsed, only the "friendly" name of the message sender is shown after "From:" It would be very nice if there was a tooltip for this name that showed the sender's email address. Right now, one would have to expand the header or copy the email address using the name's context menu. It was fixed back in 2002 for the suite, see bug 90368. Maybe someone could use that patch code. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90368
I have the same problem, but not just limited to three column view
This works for me with TB 1.0, Win2K. Ben Ruppel, if you also see this working as expected, please mark this bug: Resolved | WorksForMe
Mike, I apologize but I am not at a computer where I can confirm or deny this and I won't be until Jan 3. I will mark this bug resolved or respond otherwise on that date.

Oh crud, sorry Mike. This works for me, I wasn't checking for the tooltip properly.

No, wait! It seems to work, but only for email addresses in my address book. So when I get emails from people I know their addresses show up as tooltips, but when I get emails from people not in my address book there is no tooltip. For example, an email from Verizon does not have a tooltip showing the sender's true address because that address is not in my address book. I will open this. Let me know if I should change the summary or file a different bug.

This is also a problem if the sender is in, say, the Collected Addresses. See bug 305204.

The if statement is far too restrictive... The function useDisplayNameForAddress(); returns false for addresses that are not in the Personal AB, so these addresses don't get the tooltiptext attribute. We should move the function out of the if statement.

Oops, not out of the if statement, just out of the conditions...
