I'm running Elm 1.5b and received mail from someone whose from line was
something like: 
    From: elvis (Elvis (the king) Prestly)

When I went to reply, I got the mail sent back to me with a bunch of
sendmail error messages concerning Prestly and unmatched ')'s.
Evidently, it send the message to "elvis Prestly)".  According to
RFC822, "comments nest".  If Elm 1.5b cannot deal with this, it's a bug
and not a feature.

Is this fixed in 2.1?  On the subject of 2.1, since it has yet to
arrive in comp.sources.unix, what are some places that I can UUCP or
FTP it from?  Please mail me any answers to the later question.
