Description

Emails header "From" can be not only in angles format, like this: 

From: John Doe <john.doe@company.mail>
but also in parentheses format, like this: 
From: john.doe@company.mail (John Doe)
For example sendmail from postfix does this when using switch -F.
The patch to fix this is attached.
