487129 - ‘Show only display name for people in my address book’ option does not work everywhere

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243631

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Matt Dudziak]

The ‘Show only display name for people in my address book’ option is slightly broken. The TOC name (the name that appears in the message list) is always the name that appeared in the From Field of the original message,  while the splitter between TOC and preview shows the display name from address book.


To reproduce:
- Create an address book entry for a test address you own
- Put something like 'DisplayName' in the 'Display' field of the address book entry.
- Send yourself a message from that test address, having the sending application include a first and last name in the From field.
- Receive message
- Note the TOC (message list) shows the name as it appeared in the sender's email (ie. NOT 'DisplayName').
- Click on message
- Note in splitter between TOC and preview that 'DisplayName' is used.

There is an inconsistency here.
