http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html has:

     A.1.4.  Wilt . (the  Stilt) Chamberlain@NBA.US

             The "(the  Stilt)" is a comment, which is NOT included in
        the  destination  mailbox  address  handed  to the originating
        system's mailer.  The local-part of the address is the  string
        "Wilt.Chamberlain", with NO space between the first and second
        words.

which says the "(the  Stilt)" is not to be handed to the originating
system's mailer.
