[bug] [emacs] notmuch-show: names not shown on some mailing lists

[William Casarin]

Hey there,

Here's something I've noticed in some mailing list threads in notmuch-show:

  https://jb55.com/s/81d7c740ef60984d.png

It doesn't look like it is showing the correct name.
Looking at the raw message, the From line looks like this:

  From: Some Person via Some-mailinglist
    <somemailinglist@lists.linuxfoundation.org>
  Reply-To: Some Person <someperson@gmail.com>

Any way to handle these situations gracefully? Somehow show
`Some Person` instead of `somemailinglist@lists.linuxfoundation.org`?

Thanks,
William

The information comes from the cli. Can you reproduce this using some
notmuch show --format=sexp --body=false query, perhaps on just one of
the messages?

BR,
Jani.

I get this:

  :From "Person via Mailing list\011<mailinglist@lists.linuxfoundation.org>"

If I wanted to fix this, would I implement it as a wash function?

Thanks,

Nevermind, the issue seems to go away on master

Sorry for the noise...
