i belong to a group where i must send an email to the entire group at once, because it is a group mail it will also come to my inbox. the problem is the "from" line shows someone else's email, when i send the same email from my other email client the "from" line shows my email as it should... i have screenshots of both clients... the thunderbird one shows incorrectly. i have contacted the group owner and my emails are not moderated and my email shows as sender on her end.

why is my thunderbird showing the incorrect email in the "from" line... it is a valid email but it is not mine

is there a way for me to post screenshots to explain better?

lets test that shall we.

Tools menu > options > Advanced > Reading and display and uncheck the "Show only display name for people in my address book" restart Thunderbird

Does that fix the display issue?
