It strikes me, the problem isn't LibreOffice, it's Pegasus Mail.  :-) 
Personally, I don't think it's LibreOffice's responsibility to address 
the shortcomings and limitations of other software products.

Another point, if you shorten the name and start using acronyms, that 
could cause problems for new users finding it difficult to figure out 
what [lou] means.  :-)
