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.

	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.
