Btw, if sending emails was the _only_ thing that Author line was used for, 
or even the main thing, then it would make sense to keep it in some email 
format. But it really isn't. Sending emails to people is the _least_ 
common thing you do with it. Most of the time you just want to see the 
name in a nice readable format.
