Step 1: Combined Sender/Receiver Column
[[Image:CombinedToFromColumn.gif|Screenshot: Combined To/From-Column]]
'''Proposed Improvement:''' Combine the sender and receiver columns to one "sender/receiverwho" column. This column would always show the other person's name, and never your own. To differentiate between incoming and outgoing messages, use emphasis (e.g. print outgoing messages in italics) and/or prefix outgoing messages with boldface/italics "To: " and/or use another (small) column showing an icon. Best solution, of course, would be to let the user select the way of emphasizing (italics, color, icon(s), etc.).
A request for enhancement exists for a combined ToThis was already filed as: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/From column in the thread pane show_bug.cgi?id=36489 Bug 36489] (for SeaMonkey) , [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36489 274232 Bug 36489274232] and (for Thunderbird) , and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274232 359270 Bug 274232359270](for Penelope, the Mozilla follow-up to Eudora).
This step is, by and large, resolved with the extension [http://www.ggbs.de/extensions/ShowInOut.html Show InOut]. So my suggestion is to include this extension's functionality into Thunderbird and set it as the default behavior.
