# Investigating someone the user corresponds with

- **A page titled by an address is renamed** once the material names the
  person (signature, or the user's greeting): `# mei.l1990@outlook.com` →
  `# 李梅`, the address kept in `Also known as:`.
- **Not a person** (a service, bot, shared or test inbox, an account the user
  runs): the lead says what it is and `Role:` reads `Not a person: <what>`.
- **`History` keeps at most eight milestones, newest first**, as the person
  page requires. Combine older events by year; do not turn every message or
  thread into a milestone. Keep the current relationship and obligations in
  their own sections.
- **`How the user writes to them`** comes from the user's own messages to them
  (language, tone, length, how they open, what they ask); **`Cadence`** from the
  dates (`about weekly, July–September`). Each is `Unknown` only when there is
  no such message, or a single one.
