Sender Email Adress
Hi, I've noticed that the actual sender's email address in thunderbird old/new is only visible when I open the individual email message. It would be greatly beneficial if we could see these email addresses prior to opening the email. This feature could potentially help in identifying suspicious or unwanted emails, enhancing security and user experience. Currently, I'm using an add-on to facilitate this, but integrating this feature directly into the platform could be a significant improvement.

Kind regards

Personally I see no potential benefits from becoming aware of the sending email address, as reported in the from that can easily be fraudulent as it is not used in the delivery process, before opening the email. There is no security benefit as nothing actually happens when you open the email to read it, except perhaps to download remote images if you have that enabled. It certainly does not unleash malware, download malware or run a script on your system.
I do disable the use of the Thunderbird address book to replace the users choice of display name in their email with that in the Thunderbird address book. However I do that more from the fact sometimes folk change their display name to flag a change of hats on the same email address.
