Set it to view Sender, then wait for a new message to arrive.

The setting does not change the view on messages already sitting in your
inbox, but once you change the setting any new messages should show the
sender rather than the subject.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Tried what you recommended. No change I'm afraid. I still get the first
line of the message.

Any ideas?

Mmmmm, just had another look at my inbox and it does seem a bit hit and
miss.

Some messages have the first line and some have the sender.

I don't know if it is something to do with the network they come in from or
what.
I'm going to keep an eye over the next few days and see if I can see a
pattern.

You are right though, not all messages have the sender shown.

(I am on O2 as well by the way, and after recent troubles getting MMS to
work between two T720's I would not be surprised if it is something to do
with them).

Will do. There must be a reason for it.

Unfortunately I don't get many text messages so it may take a time to spot
the pattern.

NO.

On O2 it seems that MMS messages CANNOT be sent between two T720i's. I
cannot comment on whether it works between, say, two Nokias, but they did
say on the phone to me that they had encountered a similar problem with
customers trying to send MMS between two GD87's, but that is apparently
resolved.

I have successfully sent an MMS from my T720i to a Nokia somethingorother.
