git-send-email vs address syntax

I recently used git-format-patch and git-send-email
to patch bomb 105 patches to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org

But It appears that messages 37-45 and 96-104.
got dropped by the mail server because they
had a '.' in a destination address:

To:	linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
Cc:	malattia@linux.it <malattia@linux.it>, Len Brown
[off-list ref]
Illegal-Object:	Syntax error in Cc: address found on vger.kernel.org:
	Cc:	malattia@linux.it[off-list ref]
					 ^-missing end of address


Dave Miller says that this address would have been legal
if it were enclosed in quotes.

I don't know if the fix should be in the git-am script
which set the From: field, or in the git-format-patch
script which takes that field and makes it into
an e-mail message.
