What're you complaining about:
The default behaviour of nmh, when listing messages, is to display the
full name of the sender instead of the email address. This seems to
be a change from the default behaviour of mh. It is my opinion that
this is a misfeature. I cannot really justify this in any way, though
I believe I prefer the usernames because my mind recognizes email
addresses faster than it recognizes full names. If this was not the
product of a deliberate decision, but instead the default behaviour of
the package at it, it might be desirable to consider changing the
default behaviour so as to be the same as that of mh.
