Yes, exactly, although Eudora also used the modified form when
sending replies, which was nice.
I wouldn't be comfortable with that unless the user has verified it,
e.g., by adding the correspondent to the address book (Contacts).
I think if the modified name was the result of a user-set regex, and
showed in the composition window for replies, then perhaps a way to
visually indicate in the composition window that the name was
modified with a way to revert, would be more than sufficient.
That's certainly implementable, but (to be honest) I don't think you
should expect that any time soon.
Well, it’s not the most urgent feature for me, either. The “Filter
Results” summary would be more immediately helpful day-to-day.
My thinking here is still that if your correspondent likes to send out
emails with “Last, First” then they likely also prefer to receive
them like that. I would certainly dislike if my correspondents changed
the formatting of my name.
I’m not aware of anyone anywhere who has ever deliberately configured
their mail name to be quote-last-comma-first-quote. I am aware of many
cases where companies force it or force clients that do it.
Note that MailMate *does* replace your own name with what you have
configured when receiving emails and replying to them.
That's kind of how it already works. It's low-level though, both how
to redefine a message list column and how to change the regex for
finding first/last name. Would you like me to describe how this is
done? (You might prefer to just hope that it'll be easier to
customize some day.)
It’s not just the column display in the mailbox, but also the
message display when viewing a message. But, yes, if that can be
modified, that would be helpful.
Let's take the columns first to see if it works as you would expect it
to. The attached file is going to crash MailMate until after the next
update (r5462+). I had to fix a minor issue to make the no-spoof
feature work with the re-ordering of first and last name.
What’s the no-spoof feature?
This is where you need to save the file (you need to create the path):
/Users/<username>/Library/Application\
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesOutlineView/outlineColumns.plist
