*mumbling something about pine doing the same by default, but being
configurable enough to customize that behavior.

Hmm.  I thought "Peshansky" was a Russian name.

...and I thought the consensus was that if someone wants to post their 
e-mail address as their name, they deserve having it quoted? :-) (In 
these cases, if I reply, I usually leave a note to the OP suggesting 
that they fix this on their end.)

Thunderbird has the same problem. Anyone know of a way to fix it other 
than omitting the OP's name entirely? (What does pine do about this?)

That is what I resolved a while ago.  It's either that or switch to
another email client and I've gotten used to mutt.  I haven't
investigated the features in the latest mutt, though.  Maybe it's
possible to do the right thing in this type of situation, now.

Could be either.  Besides, if it is a Russian name (and it kind of is),
me running out of Polish is not all that surprising, now, is it?

Pine can be configured to strip away everything after the '@' sign.

Heh.  Good point!  Sorry for the confusion.
