I create an e-mail message, and I just want to get the From
header field back as I supplied it (as the documentation says:
"__getitem__(name) Return the value of the named header field."),
but when the header field is "name@example.com (Name)", I just
get "name@example.com" instead of "name@example.com (Name)"
(see code example below).

How can I get the value of the named header field "From",
as the documentation says?

main.py

import email
import email.policy

posting = email.message_from_bytes\
( b'From: Name <name@example.com>\r\n', policy=email.policy.default )
print( posting[ 'From' ])

posting = email.message_from_bytes\
( b'From: name@example.com (Name)\r\n', policy=email.policy.default )
print( posting[ 'From' ])

output (as is)

Name <name@example.com>
name@example.com

output (as wanted)

Name <name@example.com>
name@example.com (Name)

You could have found the complete string here too:

for h in posting._headers:
if h[0] == 'From':
print(h[1])

Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while.
