I don't think I'm using "feeds" with Thunderbird. Instead, I have an 
NNTP "account" in Thunderbird:

   www.digitalmars.com
   port: 119

Once that account was added, I had "subscribed" to some of the newsgroups.

The source of the same message looks like this for me in Thunderbird:

   From: =?UTF-8?Q?Ali_=c3=87ehreli?= <acehreli at yahoo.com>

I did not set that manually; either Thunderbird or my Yahoo account 
(which is my default SMTP account) must have done it. As far as I know, 
that's the correct value.
