Hi,
thanks for clarification. Now it makes sense to me.

This is intended behaviour; it is not a bug.
The current version of Mailman is much easier to manage for the
individual subscriber: all of their subscriptions show up on one list,
they can manage their subscriptions easily, and so on. In order for
this subscriber feature to work, it means that there is a single list
of all subscribers. Thus, if someone has already subscribed to one
Mailman mailing list, their email address will show up in the same
manner in all lists, most frequently looking like "j...@whatever.com":
When that person is subscribed to a new list, their email address will
show up in that manner, no matter how the listadmin enters it when
subscribing the user.
It's a bit more of a nuisance for listadmins who had previously used
the user subscription function to make some kind of annotation about
the user. I asked about this very early after the changeover because
we used to annotate subscribers to the Checkuser-L mailing list with
the name of their project, but could no longer do it. This was
verified by the developers who installed the upgraded version.
It's a minor inconvenience for listadmins, but a significant feature
for subscribers to multiple lists.

thanks, but that does not explain why most of the users have their
names
displayed.
I even added 1 subscriber recently and it got the name. Adding
next with
exactly the same syntax resulted in no name. The only difference
is that
the first one was already in the table and i created second entry
with
different email. So it looks that the names are stored in the
database
but the list interface does not store them properly. :(
