+\r
+I implemented a feature I wanted: nicknames for the list of senders\r
+on the search view.\r
+\r
+At first I just added a setting with my full name and had it\r
+replace that with "me". But then I figured it'd be better to allow\r
+the user to specify a list of replacements, and instead made a more\r
+general "nicknames" list.\r
+\r
+Then I made myself a nice long dictionary to shorten the names of\r
+folks I communicate with regularly. Mostly reducing them to first\r
+names. Now it's much more common that I can see all the senders in\r
+the narrow senders column.\r
+\r
+\r
+Thoughts?\r
