Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Penelope Graveyard :: Mail Window, defect)

Description

[P.F. Le Faou]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Eudora 8.0 b9

Checking the display option "Show only display name for people in my address book" has no effect on the "Who" column of the e-mail list. For example, if the e-mail is sent by "john doe <[e-mail]>" and I have "John" in my address book:
- in the e-mail window, I will read "from John"
- in the e-mail list, "Who" column, I will read "john doe"
I should be able to see "John" in the "Who" column as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Happens every time.
Actual Results:  
See above description: if the Display Name of this email address is "John", in the e-mail list, "Who" column, I will read "john doe".

Expected Results:  
I should be able to see "John" and not "john doe" in the "Who" column.

Would make for a nice option.

Should (optionally?) apply to the From and Recipient columns as well.

I recently installed Eudora OSE 1.0. Unfortunately, this hasn't been implemented. For a next version maybe?
Thanks!

Penelope didn't see any activity in the vcs for the last 8 years, closing.
