I recently used git-format-patch and git-send-email to patch bomb 105 patches to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org

But It appears that messages 37-45 and 96-104. got dropped by the mail server because they had a '.' in a destination address:

To:	linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
Cc:	malattia@linux.it <malattia@linux.it>, Len Brown
<len.brown@intel.com>
Illegal-Object:	Syntax error in Cc: address found on vger.kernel.org:
	Cc:	malattia@linux.it<malattia@linux.it>
					 ^-missing end of address

Dave Miller says that this address would have been legal if it were enclosed in quotes.

I don't know if the fix should be in the git-am script which set the From: field, or in the git-format-patch script which takes that field and makes it into an e-mail message.
