91583 - When replying, have parser routine grab recipient first name for first line of message

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Composition, enhancement)

Description

[Adam Masri]

I believe we need a Mail Preferences Component. This bug would partially fit there.

Platform: PowerBook G3/300/192Mb/25Gb, MacOS X 10.0.4
Fizzilla Build: 2001071305

1) Launch Moz.

2) Goto Tasks: Mail.

3) Click a message in your inbox to view it.

4) Click the Reply button.

The new window displays with, "<name> wrote:" followed by the quoted text.

I'd like to see a parser routine that could return the first name of the
recipient and list that instead of the full name. So, instead of "Bill Jones
wrote:" or even "Bill Jones," we'd have the option to have the first line simply
come up "Bill," .

Not sure how bug 70842 and this one fit together, if they do at all. I believe
bug 91576, bug 91579 and this one are related.

I'm listing this under MacOS X, but I believe this is all/all.
