I've seen the same thing for a Yahoo mailing list I'm also on.  I have
to believe they're using X-Original-From; parsing the display-name
would be too problematic, I'd think.  I know of no RFC that documents
this behavior, so I think it's just a convention that has just organically
developed.

Handling that in nmh should actually be pretty straightforward.  I
would personally lean toward not making it the default (but we should
definitely provide an example on how to configure it if a user is
interested).
