Notmuch automatically re-orders names of the format "Last, First" to "First Last" when the associated email address is First.Last@example.com. But, if a name is of the format "Last,First" then notmuch will format the name as "irst Last". Handle any number of spaces after the comma, including none. --- Good idea, Tomi. This version handles any number of spaces. lib/thread.cc | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/thread.cc b/lib/thread.cc index e976d64..ce6b0ef 100644 --- a/lib/thread.cc +++ b/lib/thread.cc @@ -186,8 +186,16 @@ _thread_cleanup_author (notmuch_thread_t *thread, if (comma && strlen(comma) > 1) { /* let's assemble what we think is the correct name */ lname = comma - author; - fname = strlen(author) - lname - 2; - strncpy(clean_author, comma + 2, fname); + + /* Skip all the spaces after the comma */ + fname = strlen(author) - lname - 1; + comma += 1; + while (*comma == ' ') { + fname -= 1; + comma += 1; + } + strncpy(clean_author, comma, fname); + *(clean_author+fname) = ' '; strncpy(clean_author + fname + 1, author, lname); *(clean_author+fname+1+lname) = '\0'; -- 1.7.9.5
