[thesite] Tips on members page?

[Dean Mah]

Yes!  You are correct sir!  Ha! Ha!

Specifically:

1) Script 1 parses messages from thelist mbox file and stores them in
   THELIST table.  Key headers are extracted, i.e., the ones that Seth
   wanted pulled.  One of the headers being the e-mail of the sender.

2) Script 2 parses the messages from THELIST table and stores the tips
   in THETIPS table.  An e-mail lookup is done against weo members and
   inserts the user ID into the table if a matching e-mail is found.

3) The Cold Fusion template displays the author name as (in order of
   precedence):

   a) name as given in the tip's name attribute.
   b) name that is pulled from the e-mail address of the original message.
