First let me apologize for my frustration, short story long. About 5 months ago, my GS5 died, first replacement was a piece of garbage that Samsung put out, the headset constantly froze up, but all the apps ran ok. Its replacement, GS9+ running Android 8, several apps stopped working. Security update, more apps stopped. Upgrade to Android 9, My Pebble became a expensive wrist watch. Two replacement smart watches, Fossil and Samsung Sport, the Fossil shows individual emails received from K9, the Sport just shows how many unread emails, not individual emails. But thats a problem i will deal with that another time.
Back to the display from, you will find two attachments, from the same person to the same yahoogroup. one is from my laptop Windows Live (capture.jpg), the second (capture1) is from my smartphone from K9. Before the app update, both showed the same from field, now K9 shows the email group. Why does K9 not show what Windows Live shows? They both did at one point??
