[Mailman-Users] Re: mass subscribing users WITH real names

[Greg Westin]

I believe Mailman will accept a number of different conventions for 
entering real names, but it makes no distinction between 'first' and 
'last' names.  For example:

Will-Main <willmaine at yahoo.com>
Main, Will (willmaine at yahoo.com)
"Will Main" <willmaine at yahoo.com>

To quote a message from Barry, found by searching the archives of this 
list,

Actually, any format recognized by email.Utils.parseaddr() is
acceptable:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-email.Utils.html

so

Anne Person <aperson at example.com>
"Brian D. Ude" <bdude at example.com>

I hope that answers your question.
