Hello,

I am wondering which rules most people are using to make 'Personal Name'
mail addresses.
E.G. if my name = Van Uytven and my Surname = Herman, some possibilities
are :

     Herman.Van_Uytven@urc.kuleuven.ac.be
     Herman.Van-Uytven@urc.kuleuven.ac.be
     Herman.VanUytven@urc.kuleuven.ac.be
     Herman.Van.Uytven@urc.kuleuven.ac.be

Our first choice was Van_Uytven, but the '_' is invalid in X.400
adresses, so I guess we need to drop this possibility.
Herman.Van.Uytven is neither a good choice, because X.400 will
have troubles in separating Name and Surname.

Other names we have :
 Surname : Karel          Name : Van der Haegen
 Surname : Anne-Mie       Name : De Meyer
 Surname : Paula          Name : D'Hondt        (a single quote)

Most names I see have Surname.Name, so the question is narrowed to
what you do with spaces, minus sign and quotes in parts of a (sur)name.
Accented characters (like in Ren{) will be translated to the
unaccented characters because this network is still 7-bit.

So I am wondering which rules other sites have, and why.
The goal we have is to give everybody an e-mail account like
Surname.Name@org.kuleuven.ac.be, so that we only have to put the
org in our paper telephone book.

Thanks,

-Herman-
