I have a *vague* memory that I had the same problem, and got the
following piece of advice.

(setq mail-extr-ignore-single-names nil)

Does it help?

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. Might something
along the lines of

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '(("mail\\.foo"
         (eval
          (setq tc-make-attribution 
                'your-favourite-attribution-function)))))

be useful for you?
