okay, it was easier than I thought for just a very simple heuristic
algorithm:
(defun ps-wash-name (name)
(if (stringp name)
(if (string= name (car (split-string name "(")))
(progn
(if (string= name (car (split-string name "<")))
(car (split-string name "@"))
(car (split-string name " <"))))
(car (cdr (split-string name "(\\|)"))))
"Fudged name"))
then with
(defun gnus-user-format-function-a (headers)
(let ((name (aref headers 2)))
(ps-wash-name name)))
I can have
(setq gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-20,20ua%]%) %s\n")
and it does most of what I want. woo-hoo. Hooray for
gnus-user-format-function
