That's not the case here. Your "broken" examples are all shown correctly. Need more info. Is this the case for every message or just some? Created attachment 2036 [details] Screenshot of message list, illustrating the To: column with only a ",". I hope the picture clarifies the problem. I have been using claws-mail for ages and never noticed this problem before. I still don't have many message where the problem occurs. But, sending a message to <oliver@kirchkamp.de>,<oliver@kirchkamp.de> is sufficient. What option do you have selected for 'Displayed in From column' (yes, From column) on /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Summaries, Message List frame? And do uou build Claws Mail yourself from the official tarballs, or use a distro package? If the latter, which distro? Regarding the last question, I see you use FreeBSD. Is that self-built?

Screenshot of message list preferences
I attach a screenshot of my message list preferences.
The “Display sender...” preference has no effect on the comma. I can tick it on or off (it does have the intended effect on the display of the sender's name, though).
I use FreeBSD dell 12.1-RELEASE-p1. Claws-Mail is installed from packages with the following Options COMPFACE : on DEBUG : off DOCS : on ENCHANT : on IPV6 : on LDAP : off NLS : on STARTUP : on THEMES : on Meanwhile I have replicated the problem also on Debian Buster with kernel 4.19.0-6-amd and Claws Mail 3.17.3 Are you able to build and test the current GIT code? I would really like to compile claws-mail from git but this seems to be harder than I thought. On FreeBSD claws-mail should compile at least from packages, but it doesn't (fails with two different machines, I have informed the package maintainer). Apparently neither GTK nor X are found. I have then tried to install on Debian Buster. There configure.ac starts with “possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_PREFIX” until configure stops with “cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in config "."/config”. I short: I fear, I am just not capable to install claws-mail from git :-( One afterthought: The broken “To:” field is rendered correctly in Sylpheed 3.7.0. > One afterthought: The broken “To:” field is rendered correctly in Sylpheed 3.7.0.
Claws Mail has diverged so much over the years to make that irrelevent. But, anyway, as I said, it works fine here.
Re-open after the next release if you still have the issue.
