when sending an email my From: box says "undisclosed recipient" rather than my actual name...want my name to appear in the From: line

more options

When I compose and send an email my name and email address show on the screen. But when it is sent the "From:" changes to "undisclosed recipients". I have a screen print of what I am talking about...but don't see on this screen how to send it to you.

Hopefully you can give advice to a new user of Thunderbird.

Woops...found the problem. My address book had the name "undisclosed recipients" next to my email address. I edited that name to say "Margaret Parsons" and presto my name appears in the "From" line on my sent emails. Yeaa....problem solved, given enough time and poking around Thunderbird...sure love this email.
