i,

I would also be in favour of this feature (using rss2email, same problem,
and of course the names imported from my 50k of emails are just weird...
One of my own addresses shows up as
"_Anna3 (by way of Tyberius Prime <tyberius_prime at ...> <... at mail.com>"!

But I'm also interested behind the rationale to "unify" sender names like
that (maybe there's a good reason that the both of us are missing)!

So long,
Tyberius Prime
