Re: OT: Annoying List Behavior....
Allegedly, on or about 4 June 2018, Todd Zullinger sent:
Normally if someone sending from a domain with strict DMARC
rules configured their From field as 'Name <me(a)example.com>'
the list DMARC mitigation would take the 'Name' part, add
'via users' and send it from the list address.
Thunderbird showing you 'Fedora' is due to the mail client
reversing the name from your local address book. I have no
idea if you can tell Thunderbird not to do that or not.
Thunderbird has/had a "show only display name for people in my address
book." Untick that, and it should show the whole address. It's in the
display section, advanced sub-section.
I find that kind of thing annoying. It's easy enough to come across
people with the same names, and it's helpful to have the full address
to quickly tell them apart.
I don't think there's much we can do about it on the list
side.
If an email address didn't have a name portion, I would have used the
email accountname immediately left of the @ sign.
