Is there a setting in Thunderbird that will only show a display name in the address bar when composing, sending, and receiving email messages?

AppMenu button - Options - Advanced - Reading & Display

Check 'Show only display name for people in my address book'.

I tried that before I posted the question. It doe3sn't work except on incoming emails. My wife uses Windows Live Mail (Windows 7) and it is apparently automatic or it wouldn't be happening. I searched through that program to see if there was a command that might be comparable to one in a Mozilla program .... couldn't find anything. Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

I don't understand how your question is related to Windows Live Mail.
