It's not documented anywhere, but the contact list takes priority over
the address->name mapping gleaned from email. So, you can add the
address to your contact list and then manually edit ~/.sup/contacts.txt
and force it to the right name. That should fix it for that address.

This is a frequent problem, and that's a pretty roundabout solution, so
maybe a setting in config.yaml for addresses to ignore would be better.
I'm trying not to bloat Sup with too many configuration options, though,
so I'm waffling on this.
