[turba] turba's name format prefs in message composition's address book

Hi everyone

There is in turba a "name_format" preference that can show the contact's name 
either by first_last or last_first .

I can see where that preference is being used, and how the name is modified  
to firstname lastname or lastname, firstname depending of the pref.

Anyway, I tried to figure how to use that turba's preference in IMP message 
composition window, when a user uses the Address book contact list window. 
I'd like to make it use the same preference, if a user has chosen last_first, 
it should reflect there.

in turba, the contactrow.inc templates uses 
Turba::formatName($ob->getValue('name')) to show the name of the contact 
according to the pref. 

However, I'm stuck trying to do the same thing in the contact.inc imp 
template. I don't understand how to use the same feature around line 47 in

<option value="<?php echo rawurlencode($addr['email']) ?>"><?php echo 
$addr['name'] ?></option> 

to change the $addr['name'] the right way.

Any ideas ? 

Thanks
