Hello folks, last year I started using the "Send to Kindle" app for Windows. I used to email mobi files to my Kindle, but Amazon regularly asked me to verify my email address. The App was fine for a while, but after a hiccup before Christmas 2020 (inserting an email address, instead of the book's author) my mobi files now arrive with just the author's surname.

It's not the end of the world but it's not right. I've tried leaving the author name blank (to pick up the author from the metadata), manually typing it and even sending mobi files by email... for the last couple of months all my mobi files arrive with only the author's surname. That's the same result using the app as emailing.

Has anybody else seen this, or better still, have a suggestion how to retain the full author's name?
