+Mutt normalizes all e-mail addresses to the simplest form possible. If
+an address contains a realname, the form
+<emphasis>Joe User &lt;joe@example.com&gt;</emphasis> is used and the
+pure e-mail address without angle brackets otherwise, i.e. just
+<emphasis>joe@example.com</emphasis>.
+</para>
+<para>
+This normalization affects all headers mutt generates including aliases.
