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.

Note that MailMate *does* replace your own name with what you have 
configured when receiving emails and replying to them.

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.

This is where you need to save the file (you need to create the path):

	/Users/<username>/Library/Application\ 
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesOutlineView/outlineColumns.plist
