it's fixed for composing messages, but the name displayed in threads is
still whatever sup put in people.txt.  in this thread, for example, the
first message was still displayed as being from Burning House Zendo in
inbox-mode, thread-view-mode, etc.  i moved people.txt out of the way, and
it started showing me as jeff.covey.  i edited that to "jeff covey" in the
newly-generated people.txt, and it started showing me that.

it's not a big deal, but the display is probably most readily intelligible
if it shows people whatever names they have set for themselves in
config.yaml and the names they have set for others in contacts.txt.  or
would it be even better to use "me" for messages from oneself (from all the
primary and alternate addresses), as gmail does?  "me" takes the least space
on the screen, leaving more room for the names of the other conversation
participants, which is what you really want to see.

thanks!
