Not to rmail-dont-reply-to-names, ti the user's login name and email address. These two are literal strings, not regular expressions. As to rmail-dont-reply-to-names, I don't think we should surround them with anything; it's the user's job to do so when she customizes this option. Thanks for the other comments, I will try to accomodate them.
