please try out this patch to supercite. If you work in an environment with MS mail users, you probably see a lot of addresses like "Miller, Jeff" <jmiller(a)smart.net&gt;. Supercite currently would prompt with an attribution of MJ for this case. This patch use mail-extr, which cleans this and some other messes up. I tried it at work and it worked pretty well. I get additionally frustrated because the addresses I get are usually "Last, First Organization". I'd like to have some more testing done on it before it's officially submitted. jeff --- supercite.el.orig Mon Aug 10 23:07:43 1998 +++ supercite.el Mon Aug 10 23:10:38 1998 ＠＠ -55,6 +55,7 ＠＠ (require 'regi) +(require 'mail-extr) ;; start user configuration variables ;; vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv ＠＠ -1075,13 +1076,7 ＠＠ This should be the author's full name minus an optional title."
