Well, no, it won't make a bit of difference given the way it is quoted
now.  The realname part is outside of a quoted environment.

Seems to me the better way would be to put the realname part in the
comments section of the address and format it like this:

 From: queue at mydomain.com (address at example.com via RT)

and just protect parens in the friendly name part.

btw: your patch doesn't apply to 2.0.14 cleanly.
