I recommend pursuing this with the folks over at Mozilla/Thunderbird.

It definitely has nothing to do with your blog's domain, which email address you use, etc.

I just can't see leaving it like it still is. I don't believe if I change from Hotmail to for eg GMail or as another blogger suggested changing my blog to .com instead of wordpress.com would solve any issue as I think the problem will go with me...I am completely perplexed as to how to proceed...Diane

It sounds like it must be a setting, or there would be a lot more posts about it. If there are any settings you'd like me to check to help figure it out, let me know.

Thunderbird is just applying the name from the previous email to all future ones, as our emails all come from the same address.

For example, if I emailed you today as James from [email redacted], then emailed you a week later as MacManX from [email redacted], Thunderbird would probably still list my name as James.

I was wondering if you saw my original contact with WP..whereby I said that this problem started AFTER I made a comment on the person's blog whose name is the one that all the "instant" emails are coming from..It seems like too much of a coincidence to me that the problem began there...because after I made a comment on this blog http://birdmartin.wordpress.com/2012/08/16/broken-girl/ on Aug. 16 and then went back to my emails to look at other new post notifications...that's when they all appeared under THAT person's name....Just thought I would tell you that...I did a screen shot and put it in my media library as one tech asked me to do...I (like you no doubt) am beginning to feel so exasperated at all of this and yet feeling so helpless to do anything about it...Diane

When you receive one of these "Instant" emails (as you describe), they are all sent by the same email address.

Thunderbird is attempting to help you by filling in the Sender's name from a previous email from that address, in this case the title of the blog from the first "Instant" email that you ever received.

This is definitely a Thunderbird issue, and I have verified it myself. Unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do besides hope that the Thunderbird folks fix this bug.

We just heard confirmation from a user with a similar problem that Thunderbird "helpfully" applies the Name of the first email received from a specific email address to all emails from that address.

Since subscription emails are sent from the same address, Thunderbird is applying the name from the very first subscription email it received, which is why all subscription emails carry that name for you now.

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of Thunderbird, and we can't correct it from this end.
