Subject: Name washing
Date: 14 Dec 1999 15:51:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2puw9i6uk.lavish@bethe.phy.ornl.gov> (raw)
Has anyone written, or does gnus already have some function to wash
names?
I have in mind turning things like
Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>
which one gets as %n in gnus-summary-line-format into a shorter form
such as
L M Ingebrigtsen
so that people's full names can appear without making the field too
wide.
Obviously I would be after some clever function which could turn
wmperry@aventail.com (William M. Perry)
into W M Perry
or similar.
I just thought I'd see if any bits of code existed before I
re-implement it...
Paul
