	Are you sure? After a few tries, it seems to me vm acts the
	following way :

	- if the From: field contains an expression in (), it uses it
	to say "%F writes"

	- it there is none (brackets <> for example), then it uses the
	name that follows immediately From: upto the opening bracket

	It is the behavior I expect.
