Well, the ‘parens’ message-from-style seems to be discouraged in RFC
5322 section 3.4:

,----
|       Note: Some legacy implementations used the simple form where the
|       addr-spec appears without the angle brackets, but included the
|       name of the recipient in parentheses as a comment following the
|       addr-spec.  Since the meaning of the information in a comment is
|       unspecified, implementations SHOULD use the full name-addr form of
|       the mailbox, instead of the legacy form, to specify the display
|       name associated with a mailbox.  Also, because some legacy
|       implementations interpret the comment, comments generally SHOULD
|       NOT be used in address fields to avoid confusing such
|       implementations.
`----

Cheers,
       Sven
