[PATCH] Feature request: nicknames for senders

I implemented a feature I wanted: nicknames for the list of senders
on the search view.

At first I just added a setting with my full name and had it
replace that with "me". But then I figured it'd be better to allow
the user to specify a list of replacements, and instead made a more
general "nicknames" list.

Then I made myself a nice long dictionary to shorten the names of
folks I communicate with regularly. Mostly reducing them to first
names. Now it's much more common that I can see all the senders in
the narrow senders column.


Thoughts?
