User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.3 Safari/531.9

Is there a way to change the way "to" addresses display in individual message windows?  

In particular, I'd like to prevent it from "euphemizing" the name displayed:

Instead of:

      To: You

I want:

      To: [e-mail]

or, as Eudora 6 would do:

      To: John Francini <[e-mail]>

Why?  So that I can know *how* the message came in if I've got more than one mail account.


Reproducible: Always

Is this controlled by the Preferences settings ?  Under "Advanced", "Reading & Display", under "Display", do you have "Show only name for people in my address book" checked ?  That's the only way I can think of that Thunderbird/Eudora would know that "[e-mail]" is "You".

This occurs for me, too; I guess I just didn't notice it before.  I agree that no "Euphemizing" should occur (UNLESS the preference I noted in comment #1 is enabled), so I'm voting for this.  

Since this occurs in Thunderbird 3.1a1pre WITHOUT the Eudora extension, I think the product should be changed to "Thunderbird" instead of "Penelope" (the Bug assignee will have to do that, as well as modifying the status from "UNCONFIRMED").

[Matt Dudziak]

This is controlled (for me at least) by the setting mentioned in comment #1, so I am going to close this bug. If you think there is still a bug, please open the bug against Thunderbird. 

Thanks, Matt

John: This is still a bug, but Matt's right -- it's a Thunderbird bug.  I really think this should be re-opened and assigned to Thunderbird, but I don't think I have the power to do that -- do you ?  If you don't have that capability, if you re-submit it as a Thunderbird bug, put me on the "Cc" list.
