[PATCH v2 1/2] send-email: sanitize author when writing From line

From
MTMichael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
Date
Jun 20, 2013, 12:27 UTC
Message-ID
<1371731166-24015-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com>

sender is now sanitized, but we didn't sanitize author when checking whether From: line is needed in the message body. As a result git started writing duplicate From lines when author matched sender and has utf8 characters.
