Actually, that's still not quite correct. Ours looks like

"xxx via list" <rc at mail.rc.org>

where xxx is
if original From contains a display name then that display name
else if original From is a member and the member has a real name then
that real name
else the From email address.

I.e., it could be

"Allan Hansen via list" <rc at mail.rc.org>

or

"hansen at rc.org via list" <rc at mail.rc.org>

but wouldn't be

"Allan Hansen (hansen at rc.org) via list" <rc at mail.rc.org>

I suspect this latter is due to what Allan alluded to when he said "I
did the code change for the mangling long ago ...".
