Thanks for pointing this out and explaining what's happening! 
How annoying!
I may go back to a previous TB version, as I don't think the yahoogroup owners 
are ready to move
to a different provider.

This problem was introduced in TB! v8.2 in January 2018 [0].

 we have improved The Bat! to made the following checks in the
 display name part of an address: if it contains an "@" character
 or any control character (such as "carriage return", "line feed"
 or "null" characters), then such a name part is discarded, and
 the user sees real email address rather than a fake one put to
 the sender’s name part.

Yahoogroups messages provide the From header in the format "Name email
address [group name]"  Is there a way to change something in

Unfortunately not. It's an annoying nannying feature with no way to 
deactivate it. You could always persuade the groups to move from yahoo 
to a group provider that has a more sane way of providing the From 
header.

As well as yahoogroups, it affects mail forwarded from 
Spamgourmet addresses, where the From header should be
"sender name - sender email address" . 

I reported it on Ritlabs Issue Tracker [1] in February 2018. Aswell as
not fixing it, so far the developers have failed to acknowledge it.

Two wrongs don't make a right. But three lefts do.

From address in message list

[Susanne]

Hello everyone,

I'm still a member on a few yahoo groups, and up until recently, under the 
"From" column in the message list window, the name of the actual poster was 
shown.

Now, it only lists the yahoogroup address there. The real posters name is still 
on the header, once I look
at the message. Is there a way to change something in the settings to get that 
name shown again in the message list?
