When pybliographer imports from medline (i.e. downloads from
www.pubmed.org) it seems  that the AU field is used:

in the medline file:
        FAU - Myburgh, J A
        AU  - Myburgh JA
        FAU - Webb, R K
        AU  - Webb RK
        FAU - Worthley, L I
        AU  - Worthley LI

in bibtex: 
        Author         = {Myburgh, J.A. and Webb, R.K. and Worthley,
        L.I.},

This, however, leads to problems when running bibtex, since the initials
are not separated by a space and so are treated as a "Name".
Thus, the bibliography entry in the final document would read:
        Myburgh J, Webb R, Worthley L 
when the bst style file should give
        Myburgh JA, Webb RK, Worthley LI

Obviously one can manually add the space and bibtex works as expected.

My question is:
Can pybliographer be instructed to import from FAU not AU?
I tried doing this via preferences/MEDLINE and screwed it up totally (se
my other post)...

Thanks for the attention to this point.
