Windows desktop Thunderbird has recently started to put wrong From address on some incoming emails.

For example: recent message w subject "500 Songs Bonus "You Keep me hanging on" by Vanilla Fudge"..when view in Thunderbird, it (incorrectly) says it is from Adam Levy Guitar Tips Pro, but it is really from Andrew Hickey. (attached screen shot shows wrong From address)

When I view same email from app on phone, it shows correct From address(Andrew Hickey)

However, emails that really are from Adam Levy Guitar Tips Pro have correct From address Adam Levy Guitar Tips Pro.

In fact, most emails have correct from address....

Is there a way to fix this intermittent problem?
