Why does Thunderbird sometimes add the beginning of an email address to the end of the address
For some reason Thunderbird arbitrarily adds the begging of an email to the end of it thus: joebloggs@bloggs.comjoe so I get is sent back as undeliverable. This only happens with emails in my address book (and then not always) and I remove the added 'bad' version immediately but it still surfaces the next time I send an email to that person. Any solution?

I start to type in an email address. Thunderbird predicts who I'm sending it to and completes the address. At this point it looks right. then I hit return (Mac wired keyboard and wired mouse). If I look carefully, sometimes it replaces the last > which surrounds the email address with the first few letters of the person's name like this: Joe Bloggs <joe@joebloggs.comjoe instead of Joe Bloggs <joe@joebloggs.com> so it gets bounced back as undeliverable. </p>

That is a fully as I can describe it.
Lookup the recipients email address in your address book. Check all address books, including Collected Addresses.
Is the contacts email address correct?
