I've finally found time to track down a problem with supercite that has been plaguing me for a while. The "emailname" attribute was always returning the sender's first name instead of their username in the e-mail address. The problem is that sc-attribs-emailname calls sc-attribs-%＠-addresses which simply matches the first string which contains legal e-mail address characters. It uses the full sender string, e.g. "Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro(a)sendmail.org&gt;&quot;. In that case, the first string is "Gregory". This makes the "emailname" attribute useless as it is the same as "firstname". This is easily fixed by using sc-get-address to strip the comments from the e-mail address. The match string is now &quot;gshapiro(a)sendmail.org&quot; and sc-attribs-emailname properly returns "gshapiro". Below is a ChangeLog entry (for xemacs-patches) and a patch. Comments are welcome (maybe I don't understand what an email "terminus" is). 1999-04-01 Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro(a)sendmail.org&gt; * supercite.el (sc-attribs-chop-address): Use the e-mail address instead of the full sender string. This allows sc-attribs-emailname to return the first part of the e-mail address instead of the first name of the author if the sender string includes the authors name. *** supercite.el~orig Wed Dec 9 12:27:12 1998 --- supercite.el Thu Apr 1 23:05:01 1999 *************** *** 1185,1191 **** (midnames (reverse (cdr revnames))) (lastname (car revnames)) (initials (sc-attribs-strip-initials namelist)) !
