An email address can consist of a "comment" part and a "non-comment"
part. e.g.:
Reid Ellis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Reid Ellis)
"Reid A. Ellis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
These are all valid email addresses. The third one requires quotes
because of the '.' in the comment part. There is no reason to ever
strip away the "comment" part of an email address in the context of
email. If something *is* stripping it out, prehaps it should be
changed to not do so.
If we keep the email address intact, then we should be able to
extract the "comment" part of the email address and display it. Do we
keep the email address intact?
Apologies for not knowing the correct name of the "comment" and "non-
comment" parts of email addresses.

Hi Cosmo and Desktop Sharing Folks,
There was a recent user request for always displaying usernames,
not email addresses, in the who column on the server. I'd like to
do this for shared items on Desktop, too.

I think all we need to do to achieve this would be to add an
optional fullname field to ModifiedByRecord (and, of course, render
fullname in preference to userid if it's available, this is already
set up on the Desktop).
Any objections to doing this? If people are supportive I'll file
separate Cosmo and Desktop bugs to implement this.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
