   The NNTP server renders the From field of FTN messages like this:    
      
   `"John Doe" (1:2/3) `   
      
   Some newsreaders show that as `John Doe (1:2/3)`, others as `John Doe`, and   
   there's one that does `John Doe" (1:2/3)`   
      
   I think that the correct way to render it, according to the RFCs, should be:   
      
   `"John Doe (1:2/3)" `   
      
   It's an easy fix - just change line 36 in newsutil.js to:   
   ```   
   		return format("\"%s (%s)\" <%s>"   
   ```   
      
   But... is it necessary to have the FTN address in the From field? If not, I   
   suggest it is changed to only display the name, like:   
   `"John Doe" `   
      
   (This would require changing the line above to `return format("\"%s\" <%s>"`,   
   but also remove the second parameter)   
      
   Would this break anything?   
      
   PS this also happens with QWK addresses (though I've not tested)
