Subject: Problems matching Chinese names in mail-extr.el
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 22:37:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m23b5wpmbs.fsf@brian-schacks-computer.local> (raw)

Hi,

The regular expression "mail-extr-initial-pattern", used in
mail-extr.el to match initials in email addresses, has trouble with
Chinese names formatted with spaces.  For example, it incorrectly
identifies the "林" in "林 欣璇" as an initial.  This causes
mail-extr-voodoo to modify the name to "林. 欣璇".

I'd guess the easiest way to fix it would be to extend
mail-extr-disable-voodoo to include Chinese characters:

(defcustom mail-extr-disable-voodoo "\\cj\\|\\cc" ...)

but I'm just guessing.

Yours truly,
Brian Schack
