I've recently recompiled ELM to not USE_EMBEDDED_ADDRESSES for
replying to mail.  I needed to this because the "From:" line
often contained a persons name (J.K.Doe) that was not replyable to.
This newly configured version now uses the address from the "From"
line for replys.

The side effect of this is that when I read mail with ELM, the sender
that is displayed is the mail address from the "From" line, not the
name on the "From:" line; unless the "From:" line has an address
followed by a name in parentheses, in which case the name in parentheses
is displayed.

What I'm trying to do is keep the message display the way it was prior
to configuring to not USE_EMBEDDED_ADDRESSES.  I DID NOT expect
that parameter to change the message display.  I expected it only to
change the selection of the reply address.
