This can get a little complicated.

You can use procmail's filter with 'formail -i' to add a subject, 
however first you need to extract the information from the message.

Maybe something like this:
:0:
* ^Subject: (re:|fwd:|) *$
{
	# add a new subject.  The "rabbit ears" \/ mean
	# put everything after them into $MATCH

	:0f
	* ^From: \/.*$
	| formail -i "Subject: From $MATCH"
}

There are probably a couple other ways of doing this, I can think of 
others too, but I won't bore by being overly pedantic.  Grabbing just 
the name, and not the email address would also be complex, and I'll 
leave that to the ingenuity of the reader.
