<p dir="auto">That's certainly implementable, but (to be honest) I don't think you should expect that any time soon. My thinking here is still that if your correspondent likes to send out emails with “Last, First” then they likely also prefer to receive them like that. I would certainly dislike if my correspondents changed the formatting of my name.</p>
<p dir="auto">Note that MailMate <em>does</em> replace your own name with what you have configured when receiving emails and replying to them.</p>

It's low-level though, both how to redefine a message list column and how to change the regex for finding first/last name. Would you like me to describe how this is done? (You might prefer to just hope that it'll be easier to customize some day.)</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">It’s not just the column display in the mailbox, but also the message display when viewing a message. But, yes, if that can be modified, that would be helpful.</p>

<p dir="auto">Let's take the columns first to see if it works as you would expect it to. The attached file is going to crash MailMate until after the next update (r5462+). I had to fix a minor issue to make the no-spoof feature work with the re-ordering of first and last name.</p>
