I have followed the instructions on this site for the subject "Names but no email addresses displayed" I unchecked the box which said "show display name" but I am still not getting email address shown. This is important as yesterday my husband received an email supposedly from one of his friends but it was his name using unknown email address. We would like to see email addresses before opening spam. Thank you
