why does only one Yahoo group display group name in From column?
I belong to several Yahoo groups and get individual emails from 3 of them. They were all working well until May 8, 2014, when the FreX news group started to display only "frex@yahoogroups.com" in the From column. It is still that way. I can't be sure that it's a Yahoo problem, as the other groups that I am a member of display the senders Display name and email address. The attached file is a snip from TB showing how it was and how it changed. Please advise how to change it back to the display names and addresses.

locate that address in your address book and delete it.

I deleted the email address of the frex group in my address book yesterday, and today, Apr. 13/15, all is back to normal. All of the emails since May 8, 2014 have changed back to the senders name. However, I wish to point out that the address book has all of the other groups email addresses in it, and this problem hasn't occurred in these groups yet. Also, as soon as I sent an email today to the frex group, their address was written into the address book under collected addresses. I received my email back in a few minutes and my name is in the From column. So, not written in stone. Thanks for your help.
In the address book entry there is an option to always prefer display name over message header. If that is unchecked then the display in the lists is unaffected.
