That is true.

The [documentation](http://manual.mailmate-app.com/format_string_syntax) 
is *very* brief. You need the regexp replacement method.

To be honest I am no regexp-ninja. At least it always seems that there 
is a simpler solution than the one I first think of :-) Something like 
this should work:

	${from.name/(.{10}).*/$1/}

It tries to match the first 10 characters and if it succeeds then they 
are used as the resulting string. Otherwise the input string is used 
(which is shorter than 10 characters).

This can be combined with the other format string methods.
