Re: RFC822 From: fields

I noticed that the From: field generated by git-format-patch does not
conform to RFC822 format when the realname contains a dot (like mine).
Do we want to fix that in git-format-patch (only), or do we even want to
fix that in the stored commit author and committer fields?

I'd suspect that the answer should be "Neither", and rather inside
send-email.
