bug (?) in send email

Hello!
send-email (tested versions 1.7.9.2 and 1.7.10.4) breaks email addresses.
Steps to reproduce:
Modify file.
git commit --author="Michał Tz <name_1911@some.com>" modified.file -m "Test"
git format-patch -o patches origin
Now, the patch seems to have the address right, see [1]

git send-email --to MYOWN.ADDRESS@mail.com --suppress-cc=author patches/0001-Test.patch

But checking my inbox now shows an email starting with:
From: Michał Tz <name 1911@some.com>
So the address is splitted at the underscore.

Furthermore, if I don't use --suppress-cc=author, the CC field shows the right address.

Regards
Christoph
