Some users at our site have a REALNAME field like that says something
like "Joerg Hoehle (fubar)", (note the parentheses), and when I want
to send a reply to these people, vm inserts something like:

fubar says:
>...

Which is definitely not what I want to see :-(

Is this a regexp problem? I remember EMACS 18.57 RMAIL making a
realname of "Joerg Hoehle (" of names like these. 18.58 fixed the
problem.
