git send-email woes

[Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>]

I stumbled on two issues with git-send-email today.
First of I forgot to tell where to find the patch files to send.
But git-send-email only complained _after_ I had given all
the information manually.
It would have been niver to check that all mandatory arguments
was present before being interactive.

The second issue are best explained quoting a mail from Matti Arnio:

What I could see was that git-send-email takes mail address
verbatim from "Signed-off-by:" lines and use it.
Would it be possible to always quote it except when quoted
or to do a more intelligent RFC2822 check?

That would keep suprises lower.

I'm not good a perlish so I have not attempted fixing it myself...
