OK, can someone please tell me how the heck to get Thunderbird to 
correctly display the group names? I mean, if some new group pops up, 
what the heck am I supposed to make out of, "g.f.e.x.zippy", type 
information? Sure, I know that i = irtc, so i.animations = 
irtc.animation, but I would still prefer if the damn pane showed the 
full name. :p lol Got to be something buried in the advanced settings, 
if it exists, but I have no idea what I am looking for. (Ironically, if 
I did I wouldn't have needed to attempt google, but since I don't, I 
couldn't find it "with" google either.)

I don't follow. In the subscribe pane, you get the full names. The only 
place they're abbreviated is in the tree view where you pick which 
currently-subscribed group you want to read, and the full name shows up 
in the title bar, yes?

Where does it "pop up" with an incomplete name?

  Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
  kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
  who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
  and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?

And if you enlarge the tree view horizontally, it'll widen the names as 
much as there's room.

Change the following setting to false:

mail.server.default.abbreviate (Can be found under advanced (general 
tab) in the config editor button.

Thanks. That was exactly what I was looking for.
