This (new) behaviour came from the request that some people id *NOT* want to
have the new author on the reply, but the *ORIGINAL* (they used an attribute
"Origial author" which should not be replaced on a reply). Therefor I added a
new option to resolve that. So please use

Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name

if you want to have the attribut "Author" replaced by the current one both on
new entries and on replies.
