Problems since setting up "undisclosed recipients".

I set up an "Undisclosed Recipients" address to be used when I need it, and this now appears in my Address Book. Unfortunately since then, despite my Emails showing they are from my name (as per normal) as I draft them, the Sent message versions show they are from "Undisclosed Recipients". I have sent test Emails to myself - when received they show the message is both from and to "Undisclosed Recipients". I have checked my personal details in the Address Book - these have not changed, they show my name and my normal Email address. The Undisclosed Recipients entry also shows my normal Email address. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Meggs

Remove the "undisclosed recipients" entry from your address book. You don't need it. Thunderbird will automatically insert this when you send a message where all the addresses are defined as Bcc:

Thank you Zenos. I have just removed the "undisclosed recipients" entry from my address book, sent myself another test message and voila, all is back to normal - my name again appears in the "From" and "To" lines. In future, I will simply select Bcc when needing to hide Email addresses. Your help is much appreciated. Many thanks, Meggs.

I don't have "undisclosed recipient" in my address book. Yet all the emails sent to me are addressed to "undisclosed recipient" instead of to my email address. How can this be corrected?
