The latter is super-obsolete, and has special handling in nmh; it ends
up in the format engine marked as a "note", and there's some special
stuff that deals with that when you're using stuff like %(friendly).
Of course we should parse it, but it would make things a lot easier if
we just treated things in parenthesis as comments (like they're supposed
to be) and just pretend that it doesn't have a real name field.

What are the implications of that for those of us who have mail
dating back to when that format was fairly common practice? Not
long ago I had cause to list real names, and did it using
mh-format.
