git-send-email doesn't deal with quoted names

Hi,

My commit author name is "Jason A. Donenfeld". Because this has a dot, SMTP handling likes to put it in quotes.

git-send-email has this line:
            if (defined $author and $author ne $sender) {

With my name, this always winds up false, because it's comparing '"Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@zx2c4.com>' with 'Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>'.

So, the logic needs to be fixed somehow.

Thanks, Jason
