Subject: [PATCH] Feature request: nicknames for senders
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:37:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1310409421-4446-1-git-send-email-jason@jasonwoof.com> (raw)

I implemented a feature I wanted: nicknames for the list of senders
on the search view.

At first I just added a setting with my full name and had it
replace that with "me". But then I figured it'd be better to allow
the user to specify a list of replacements, and instead made a more
general "nicknames" list.

Then I made myself a nice long dictionary to shorten the names of
folks I communicate with regularly. Mostly reducing them to first
names. Now it's much more common that I can see all the senders in
the narrow senders column.


Thoughts?
