As others have noted, your From: like looks like

email@address (User Name)

If I were to reply to your mail, my mailer would rewrite that as

User Name <email@address>

This is why your address shows up differently in some replies.

Parentheses indicate a "comment."  This is why your User Name doesn't
show up in some places.  In the "User Name <email@address>" format,
User Name is *not* a comment.
