Another way to do this without an add-on: toggle the setting of mail.showCondensedAddresses to false in the config editor (run Thunderbird, go to Preferences..., select the Advanced tab, select the General sub-tab (might not be necessary), press the "Config Editor..." button, then copy/paste in "mail.showCondensedAddresses" and double-click the entry that appears to toggle).

I did this while looking at an email addressed to me and when I toggled the setting the To: header showed my email address immediately. Then I quit Thunderbird and the setting is saved.

I greatly appreciate the community for writing and maintaining add-ons. However add-ons in general are a considerable security risk (you're executing more code with an add-on) and possible impediment to upgrading to subsequent versions of the host program when add-ons go unmaintained. I'd rather not take on these possible inconveniences for something as simple as a toggling preference setting.

I'm selecting a rating of 4 stars even though I neither like nor dislike this add-on. I appreciate the code brevity (even if you're non-technical, read the source code of this add-on; it's incredibly short) and I like that it helped point me to the preference setting to toggle (searched on the word "condense" in the config editor).

I don't know how this add-on is licensed so I can only guess that the add-on is free software which means that the add-on respects the user's software freedom to study, run, improve, and share.
