Sorry to ask this again - Chris set me right some time ago, but I can't
find his advice, nor can I remember how to show myself and others, such
as Skip Cave, I think, by name rather than as "Programming Forum", both
in the "Correspondents" column in Mozilla Thunderbird's list of emails,
and, in an individual message window, the names shown as From and To.
I don't know if this is a feature of other email support software - I've
always favoured T/Bird.
This isn't (only!) a matter of vanity - it's a pain looking at a stream
of messages listed by thread and looking for a particular person's
contribution.
For example, in RE Boss's recent thread on "seqfan problem", all
contributors' names except mine are displayed, Boss, Hui, Alvord et al,
but I'm anonymous, so not too difficult. However, in Skip Cave's thread
"Largest & Smallest", both he and I are anonymous, while Roger & Nollaig
are there by name. As for Piet de Jong's thread, "Passing on" monad/dyad
information, I have no idea who commented: " Cliff's answer is helpful
IMO,"
I think the answer might be something to do with the "Address Book" but
can't remember. It's probably thought to be intuitive, but it beats
me! J's easy by comparison...
Thanks,
Mike
