Simple attempt to display author names in a friendlier way

This patch only addresses the typical Outlook/Exchange case
where we have "Last, First" <first.last@company.com> or
"Last, First MI" <first.mi.last@company.com>.

In the future we should be more fexible as to the formats
we recognize, but for now we address this one as it is the
Exchange default setting and therefore the most common one.
