Thunderbird changes the FROM name when coming from PayPal, why is this and how do I fix?

This only happens to mail coming from PayPal, no other sender. This happens on emails with a payment being made to me. The subject line has the correct payee name but the FROM name is changed and should be John Doe via PayPal, for example.
