I'm having a bit of a problem with mail, sent via elm, being read by
mailx users.  The mailx users hang when doing a group reply ('r' cmd)
to headers of a certain syntax.

I've traced the problem to the parenthetical comments in the "Cc:" line
placed there by elm (eg, "Cc: joe (Joe Korty), root (Administrator)").
Further research also shows that the comments also prevent the 'r' cmd
from finding more than the first name on the "To:" line, although this
failure doesn't hang mailx.

Does anyone else have this problem?  A good solution?  The obvious
solution of eliminating elm aliases doesn't work perfectly; since elm
mail arriving from other systems can have the parenthetical comments
attached.

OS used: derivative of motorola r3v5 (AT&T V.3.1 based).
