I've set the preference (Options | Advanced)
[x] Show only display name for people in my address book.
But it's only working on the To: field in the envelope panel, not for the From:
I think it used to work for both, but I don't have an old installation handy to
test with.
TB 1.0, Win2K

Would you mind stating the rationale for that?

So I see this feature has been implemented as requested on the trunk:
I'm seeing the expected tooltip on the From: address, with 1.6a1-1201.

Scott, could you explain the reason for the design?
Some customers and end users claim to change the behavior. They think this 'show only display name' feature/pref is broken or inconsistent. I think we can provide them with a better user experience by fixing this bug.

This appears to have been discussed in bug 240138 comment 14 et seq. Cmt #29 there shows where the original patch was implemented to only collapse entries
in the To list.
As I note in comment 8 here, the From address *is* getting collapsed; this behavior will be seen in version 2 when it's released, unless somebody stomps
it back down again. I believe the security concerns were addressed by adding the tooltip for collapsed names; see bug 251279 for a final detail here that needs to be addressed.
Reopening to change resolution.

This bug is caused by Mnenhy and is still visible if you have enabled it's module Custom Headers. So it's not a core issue. Marking verified.

This bug was not *originally* caused by Mnenhy.
