I think the sender's email address should be shown by default in the head of the view. I mean above the message and not the view of the technical headers. Maybe it would be best to even show the sender's name, too, by default. Both. This is important because it helps to identify phishing attempts and spam.

There is an option in global settings to show either the sender's name or the sender's email address. Unfortunately I did not find a way to show both. Which one is the current default? On my installation I found that I had to change the settings to show the sender's email address, but maybe I changed the default setting in the past.

K9 Version: 5.600 Adnroid 6.0

The dialog displayed when clicking the sender name is provided by the system. K-9 Mail provides the name and email address of the contact so it could be displayed in the dialog. On older Android versions this worked as expected. It looks like this functionality is broken or has been removed in newer Android versions.

For showing name and email address see #1119.
