Ah sorry. Because Chinase, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnames cultures, the
family name is placed before the given names, we can't call the family
name as the last name [0]. So i reproduce before examples;;
Subject: Each organization's naming convention:
FN = family name
ON = other names (given name or middle name or etc.)
[1] IANA's Rules: <URL:http://www.iana.org/>
naming order: followed by local convention
other rules: FN ===> all capital letters
EX) "LIN Ching-Hsia" (Origin: "Lin Ching-Hsia")
[2] NCBI's Rules: <URL:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/>
naming order: FN first!
other rules: FN, + ON
EX) "Lin, Ching-Hsia" (Origin: "Lin Ching-Hsia")
[3] FreeBSD's Rules: <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/>
naming order: ON + FN (it seems like Western Style)
EX) "Ching-Hsia Lin" (Origin: "Lin Ching-Hsia")
How do you make your name in the From entry of EMail?
Sincerely,
