Correct.

Yep. This can happen :)

Hmmm... yes... the app only pickup the name the first time around... 
perhaps it should try to use the "most common name"... eg the name 
which appear to associated with this address the most often?

Hmmm... right now there is no straightforward way to change this except 
editing the original message...

As it stands, the application is mostly read-only... there is not easy 
way to edit the different artifacts that the app produces... the long 
term master plan is to provide an additional mechanism to allow 
editing/re-organizing the application data... this will most likely 
manifest itself through a build-in IMAP server which will allow you to 
manipulate most of the data directly from your native email client...

Cheers,

R.
