+keys against the elements in `sc-preferred-attribution-list' in order.
+The first non-empty string value found is used as the preferred
+attribution.
+
+Note that Supercite now honors the X-Attribution: mail field.  If
+present in the original message, the value of this field should always
+be used to select the most preferred attribution since it reflects how
+the original author would like to be distinguished.  It should be
+considered bad taste to put any attribution preference key before
+\"x-attribution\" in this list, except perhaps for \"sc-lastchoice\"
+(see below).
+
+Supercite remembers the last attribution used when reciting an already
+cited paragraph.  This attribution will always be saved with the
+\"sc-lastchoice\" key, which can be used in this list.  Note that the
+last choice is always reset after every call of `sc-cite-original'.

+
+\"emailname\"    -- email terminus name
+\"initials\"     -- initials of author
+\"firstname\"    -- first name of author
+\"lastname\"     -- last name of author
+\"middlename-1\" -- first middle name of author
+\"middlename-2\" -- second middle name of author
+...
