  It sounds like a problem at the receiving end, but I might be wrong. You can check that by looking at the raw message:

  • Select the message
  • Enable “View ▸ Show Raw Message”.
  • Look for the header line starting with From.

  If that From header contains Robert then MailMate is not doing anything wrong. If it contains Judy then there is a serious bug since somehow MailMate is displaying something (Robert) which is not there.

  I didn't realize that was part of the header, but I see what you mean. This is not a MailMate issue it seems. The sender is sending the wrong info. I will address accordingly.

  Thanks.

  When I review the email on my iPhone and iPad, they both say the right thing "Judy". I guess those devices use what is in my address book instead of the header?

  Yes, I know Apple Mail does this when there is no name for the email address in the message itself, but I wasn't sure whether or not this happened if there is a name in the message (I had assumed not, but it looks like I'm wrong). To me that seems like a security problem. That is mainly because I often judge potential spam emails by the fact of whether or not they include my real name (most often such emails only contain the email address). This could also be very confusing when an email address is shared by multiple users using different names.

  I know you didn't ask for it, but for the record, it's very unlikely that I'll ever make MailMate behave like Apple/iOS Mail.

  Understandable. Thanks.
