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" I'm definitely sure. The problem is with nested parentheses, because these names appear in a mail like From: hoehle (Joerg Hoehle (fubar)) and produce "fubar writes:", not "Joerg Hoehle (fubar) writes:".
