Addresses do not show up on "reply"

Post by smashz »

Thunderbird 52.1.1 on Windows 10 Home (64 bit)

When I reply (or reply all) to a message, the addresses are not copied to the reply message. The address book is fine, and addresses appear when I start to type them.

This change happened with the 52.1.1 update.

Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

I just tried it - when I launch with safe mode, the addresses appear. (Thanks for the suggestion!)

Off to work through the add-ons, I guess.

It looks like the offending add-on is "Display Contact Photo." Comments on the page for this confirm that it is broken.

Display Contact Photo does indeed cause the Reply To address to NOT work; is there a Work Around for this issue?

Just disabling (or uninstalling) that extension until the author provides an update to make it compatible with current versions of Thunderbird (if they ever do so.)
