That is up to the developers of Thunderbird/the Growl notification plugin for Thunderbird. A longer explanation, for the benefit of others who have had similar questions: Slightly simplified, the basic information Growl gets sent from an application in order to post a notification is: * The identity of the application that is sending the notification * The title of the notification * The message text of the notification * [optionally] an icon to display with the notification plus some other stuff like priority, sticky, etc. The point being; all Growl gets from an application about what to display in each notification is a small picture, and two small pieces of text. Growl cannot go back and ask the application for more info, so the only way a notification is going to get more verbose is down to the application sending a more verbose message to growl. So to show sender and title in the new mail notification, Thunderbird must fit that into the fields above, eg. by writing “<sender>: <subject>” as the title of the notification. If there is no way to do this in Thunderbird, then the short answer to your question is no. The longer answer is: it could be, but you’ll have to ask the Thunderbird (Growl plugin) developers to provide a way of letting you decide what information goes into the notification, if there isn’t already. As it happens, a quick search (for “growl”) on the mozilla addons site revealed a couple of growl notifiers that at least claim to include both sender and subject in new mail notifications, so you could give those a try?
