Hey Carlos!

I had asked about this in the not-so-distant past, also. Tin, of all clients,
had a display issue with this. But we had done some research and found that it
was Tin that was at fault. So we reported our findings and it was addressed.

I've also removed them in my modded version, but if you "add an option or
something", please let me know as I would be interested in doing the same!

I had figured that if I can't read/write (moreso write, because the mail base
can indeed be read) FTN netmail via NNTP, there was really no need for the
comments, that were already messing up some other display options I had set in
my SmartTemplates add-on.

If I was an actual license holder for SmartTemplates, I probably could just
report the issue there and get it fixed as it's most likely another case where
those comments are not being fully ignored. That may still be in the cards,
too.

Tin and Slrn also just display the name now, as they should. I think when we
went through all of this the RFC's stated that if you weren't going to use
those comments, to ignore them. It seems HotdogEd doesn't ignore them fully
(which was the same issue that Tin had before we contacted the maintainer).

Nick
