In Settings / Global settings / Display, i've plugged "Correspondent above subject".
Correspondent disappear, and the subject appear twice.

Thanks for anderstanding, nothing against you.
Here's a screenshot with "Correspondent above subject" enabled:

And here's one with the setting disabled:

As you can see, with the setting disabled, the correspondent appears at the start of the preview, but also above the message, where I'd expect the subject line now.
This only happens when switching the setting and returning to the message list. The list will be displayed properly if the message list screen is closed and reopened.
This should be fixed in recent beta versions (5.7xx).
