The current From line generated by r2e is From: Blog: Author
where
Blog is the name of the blog, or some page like a wiki's RecentChanges
Author is the author of a post
iff the blog sets that info in the feedIn mutt the Blog part often occupies the whole displayed Subject field, which is fixed width. So the Author cannot be seen. This is particularly a problem with planets, where the author of a post matters a lot. But also with some blogs that have multiple authors. For these sorts of blogs, I would generally prefer to use a From line like From: Author (Blog) This does mean that when sorting by author, all posts of a blog or planet feed may not appear together, but that would be an acceptable tradeoff to me. One way to implement this (other than just changing the format string) would be to make OVERRIDE_FROM able to contain a format string, so it could be configured on a per-feed basis. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- see shy jo
