"text/plain et al" in place of address in email list
I've received a couple of emails where in the email list they have text/plain et al where the sender's email address would normally be, and in the email window it says text/plain, charset=UTF-8. Can Thunderbird not handle UTF-8 in emails, or is it just in that part of the email?

Solved it. It was some header text (Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8) in the email creation script on the server which set the charset. It had not been a problem before. Vivaldi email warned that there were two From: fields in the email, which there were, though one was in the text of the email, not the headers. Removing that didn't fix it but deleting the charset header setting did. May have been in the formatting of the header, not the presence the header, I guess.

That sounds to me like the email is actually malformed.
Open the message source (CTRL+U) it should contain in the header a field designated From: what is showing in there in the message source?

The from address is a valid one - From: noreply@costa-mogan.com When I view the same email on the Android app it says <Unknown Sender> rather than text/plain et al. The form that sends the email is sending it to a test address that then redirects it to my address. I'm wondering if the redirection by the server is messing something up.
