sorry, this might have been misleading. Its not set in stone, but personally i would like to have both `get_authors`, which returns this list of pairs realname,address (which it doesn't atm). And secondly your new `get_authors_string` which would return the string we later use, and in case settings or a parameter say so, we do the substitution.
Note that it makes sense to first have the `get_authors`, which will use `get_messages` internally and if we do make the replacement in `get_authors_string` we can get the author names from aforementioned function instead of reading the messages again ourselves
