Selecting an Attribution
************************

   As you know, the attribution string is the part of the author's name
that will be used to composed a non-nested citation string. Supercite
scans the various mail headers present in the original article and uses
a number of heuristics to extract strings which it puts into the
"attribution association list" or "attribution alist". This is
analogous, but different than, the info alist previously mentioned. Each
element in the attribution alist is a key-value pair containing such
information as the author's first name, middle names, and last name, the
author's initials, and the author's email terminus.
