Thunderbird Email Address Auto Cleaner

Did you know that there is a difference between sending emails to recipients that are in the email address book and those that are not. The display name is one of the form fields that can be filled out in the email clients address book. This display name will be send along with the email address to recipients in the to, cc and bcc fields. Email recipients in Thunderbird see the display name in the to field and the email address when hovering over the display name in the status bar.
Sending the display name can be problematic because of several reasons. One is that it is up to the account owner to pick a display name which can sometimes be not appropriate to share with the recipient. Another problem is that it can lead to encoding problems on the recipients side as well.
