Beth- There is no reliable method of identifying a word in the message body as being a surname. Even though people don't always use the surname box correctly, it would still make more sense to use the names in THAT field for the links if they are going to have links. Perhaps, if they did it that way we could convince them to add a blurb explaining how to use the surname box correctly when posting! We've all been wanting that just about forever.

Joan, I wondered about that. It definitely would make more sense to use the names in the surname box, especially as it didn't recognize the actual surname in the example I gave. Given the problem with missing surnames in the box, if this thing works something like a spider couldn't it come back and "revisit" the message from time to time to pick up whatever surnames an admin has added?
