Setting primary_mail to (FirstInitial)(surname) ?

[Daniel Hoffend]

Hi Paul

for the uid setting you can take the following syntax (it's working on 
my setup this way):
policy_uid = '%(givenname)s'[0:1]%(surname)s.lower()

maybe the following syntax would work for mail (not tested)
primary_mail = '%(givenname)s'[0:1]%(surname)s@%(domain)s

Regards
Daniel
