giving $realname precedence over $reverse_name

[Troy Davis]

Is it possible for $realname to take precedence over $reverse_name
(essentially turning $reverse_name into just "reverse_email")?

Occasionally I receive emails to: "Troy Davis (e-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
or others where responding with that name would be strange.  I'm using 
1.1.1i.

Suggestions appreciated,

Troy
