🌸 DESCRIPTION

Okay so adgnumailconverter takes your old GNUMail addresses and converts them into Addresses format. It's giving glow-up energy fr fr ✨

  1. Name contains a ,: It splits at the ,. The first part goes into last name, and the second part goes into first name. Main character energy πŸ‘‘

"Mueller, Fritz" -> "Mueller", "Fritz"

  1. Name doesn't contain a ,: It splits at spaces. The last part goes into last name, and everything else goes into first name. Lowkey iconic πŸ’œ

"Johnny B. Goode" -> "Goode", "Johnny B."
