[PATCH] mailinfo: better parse email adresses containg parentheses

From

    When using git-rebase, author fields containing a ')' at the last
    position had the close-parens character incorrectly removed
    because the From: parser incorrectly matched it as
        user@host (User Name)
    (removing parentheses), instead of
        User Name (me) <user@host>
