I'm not sure if that's a good idea: A frontend might want to make this configurable, for example to give the user the opportunity to disable it (possibly to see to which of his mail adresses he used in that thread, if they have different real name components). It might also get tricky to distinguish between someone called "me" participating in the thread and the user, which might be relevant for highlighting the latter case differently, while it's rather easy for a frontend to do the transformation itself. At least it should not be done in the library, because it'd need to read the user's addresses from configuration file which the library is not supposed to access, as far as I understand.
