It's supposed to. RFCs 822 and 2822. The parenthesis (unless properly quoted) indicate a comment, which renderers and the like will ignore just like a compiler or interpreter ignores comments in source code. If you want to see the raw encoding in mutt, press 'e' to edit the raw message in $EDITOR. -D -- Bugs come in through open windows. Keep Windows shut! http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/
