Desired New Feature: Have "From" column in messages listing pane show sender's actual email address

Ron

I've tried long and hard, but can't find any other place to submit a new feature request.

The "From" field shows a sender's name (such as J Smith) or whatever text the sender chooses. So I get messages that are from "open immediately (DTP)", which says nothing and is utterly meaningless. Yes, clicking on that row/message shows the sender's address in the header block below the list. But there may be dozens of messages (especially those begging for money), and I shouldn't have to click through every one to see who it's actually from. I want to see at a glance the actual email addresses in the From field/column.

If this is already possible, please show me how to do it. If it isn't, I propose it as a new feature, another field/column that a user can select from the right-click list.

Thanks for any help and words of wisdom.

I'm using the latest TB 128.4.3esr (32-bit)

I "show" both the From and Recipient columns, for all emails.

They show me both the Name (if there is one) and the email, in both columns, without doing anything.
