I have been using Thunderbird under Win10 since the fall of 2016 and do not have your problem. I display From and Recipient (Expéditeur and Destinataire for me).
Have you checked the source of emails to see what the From field looks like? v.g. Date: Tue, 14 May 2019 15:00:21 +0100 From: 'Mike Day' via Chat <[email protected]> Then in the From column, I see 'Mike Day' via Chat. See also on the Contact tab of the Correspondent record the option regarding what to display. ~ Gilles Le 2019-05-14 à 10:06, David Mitchell a écrit : > I have been seeing the 'anonymizing' issue for years with Tbird.
