'mail-extr.el' small patch

Hi,

I recently customized my trivial-cite attribution function 
and I found that there no way of getting a name that is equal to the mailbox
name as the real name. It is stripped by mail-extr parsing function.

So i  propose that little addition to  give the user possibility  to strip that
name or not.

Comments are welcome.

Regards,
Sébastien Kirche
