After checking how they displayed, I deleted them from my Kindle. Next I attached the files in my Calibre Library to an email and sent those to my Kindle, checking how those displayed.

The results were same as the previous tests. I expected they would be, but thought it was important to run the test under the exact conditions I normally use.
Please note that exporting the ebook (Save to disk, Send to device, etc.) will update the metadata in the file for some formats. The files in the calibre library will not be updated unless you Polish them (and I'm note even certain that will work for mobi).
