Yeah I know it sucks. I'm using Mozilla's messenger and the account has 
the entry "Martin T. Kutschker", but the b**y program generates the name 
from the email address!

Ah, that's just because we have the pdf_generator extension installed.

How would you do it in a VirtualHost directive? I can create rewrite 
rules, but it usually takes me some time, mostly spent on reading the 
rewrite log :-(

Anyway, the "default" rules live in .htcaccess (ie a Location 
directive), you don't need paths there. I just happen to disable 
.htaccess for servers I manage, it's just an overhead if you administer 
the whole machine.
