What the title says..   Huh Huh Huh

That's normal. The from field was only used for (now-deprecated) IP-based transactions. Regular p2p transactions (the only ones used today) can come from many addresses, so there isn't always a good way to display them there.

If you really want to know, you can look up the transaction on blockexplorer.com and you can see which source address(es) it came from.
Thank you so much!
Very helpful.
