Setting up an attribution line that says more than just:

    "Full Name said:"

doesn't seem possible in the current version(s) of "elm".
I would like something as follows:

   "On timestamp Full Name <user@somewhere> said:"
       --------- --------- ----------------

The underlined portions are what I would like to pull from the
"Date:" resp. "From:" header lines of the original item.  Maybe even
things like the address on the "Sender:" or "Newsgroup:" line.
In general, it would be nice to be able to specify separately which
part of a header line to pull into the attribution, and which header
line itself to pull it from.

Are there ways to build filters to do this kind of thing?  If so,
any tips & hints would be very much appreciated.

Regards.
