viewmail parsing modifications

I'm using viewmail (Vmail 2.1, I believe). When vmail reads
the "From" line in my mailbox, apparently it looks for an
icon match on the first field following the bang "!". Example:
From: att!pucc.PRINCETON.EDU!mary
Here, it looks for an icon named "pucc". If it doesn't find it
I get my standard "Uknown" icon. And the same happens here:
From: att!pucc.PRINCETON.EDU!john
Again, it matches on "pucc". NOT "mary" or "john". So every piece
of mail I receive through that particular gateway will get the same
icon.
Anybody have a modified vmail that gets past this to the real sender?
I have the source here somewhere so I can play around with the parser
and build a new version, but I'd rather save time and avoid reinventing
the wheel if possible.
Thanks,
-Ellen
