Thunderbird email what does a blue person icon or black person icon mean after the address in the To or From
I have received a Thunderbird email VN 102 where the To; field and the From: field has the same address of the sender. There is also a blue round person icon after these 2 addresses.
Can someone explain please?

Blue means the address is in your address book. Black is obviously they are not in your address book.
Many thanks Matt. I was confused by receiving an email from someone, that I know, but in 'To:' field was the same email address as in the 'From:' field i.e. the senders address. A relative suggested this might be because I was copied in via the Bcc field. Might this be the case please? David

Most certainly. Many folk using BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) place their own email in the To: as the whole point of them using BCC is to not publish the entire mailing list. Obviously as the email is from them you will have that address so nothing extra is disclosed.
