The new version of Thunderbird doesn't show quotes around the name of the person in the header part of the composition window. For example it now displays the e-mail address as Smith, John <john.smith@nowhere.com> instead of "Smith, John" <john.smith@nowhere.com> even though the quotes are there in the mail that is sent. How can I change the behavior back to show the quotes?

But it still works? If so, how is this a problem?

Special characters like commas are illegal without quotes around them. I'd like to see legal addresses, especially when they're listed that way in my address book.
