I don't remember if there is a separate setting for news and email in 
Thunderbird. I have display of email address on in email because it 
allows one to find out people that try to fake their identity.

For example:

   Your Bank <banking@promotions.com>

If you hide the email, you only see "Your Bank" and might think it is a 
true mail from your bank, whereas displaying the email address you see 
that it is not. Or at least that it is suspect.

Windows software likely tend to hid the address, same as it hides the 
extension, allowing tricks to be played on users.
