my email addresses are prefixed 'Me'. Why
When I receive colleagues emails en mass mine stands out as being prefixed 'Me'. Of course I know that so why is it that this appears? Any ideas to get rid of it. It appears on all five of my email addresses.

What version are you using?
I remember seing this before, but at the moment I can't reproduce it (on TB 60). When an email in recipient ("To:"), CC fields matches your account email, it will display "Me".
You could try adding a contact in your address book with your email address, then use a name to your liking.
Didn't work but thanks for the reply
The very first blog post on ThunderbirdI wrote, back in 2010, adresses this and the information has not changed in that time.
Unfortunately the add-on I refered to at that time no longer works, so the option is to turn "pretty" naming on or off in options.
Ah! "Pretty naming" - thank you Matt, TIL!
A link would have been good, as I did not include the location of the option. https://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com/2010/08/remove-you-from-your-mail.html
