Thanks for the two patch tweaks.

I've been using "git send-email" for patches, and have Thunderbird as my
MUA otherwise.  (I'd use (al)pine if I could make it work with
Exchange/NTLM at work, but that's another story...)  I've been
transfering recipients (--to and --cc) from Thunderbird to the
commandline with copy/paste.

In Thurderbird, copying an email address from a message only gets you
the user@domain part, not the "Full Name" <user@domain>.  To get the
"Full Name" <user@domain> I would have to View Message Source and
pickout the CC line, which is marginally harder.

And on the commandline, instead of just pasting an email as a shell
word, I'd have to add single quotes (I think) to keep the whole "Full
Name" <user@domain> as one word and quote the shell meta characters.

Neither piece is all that onerous, I guess.  Sounds like you would see
some value in the full names.  Maybe I'll try including them on my next
patch.  Looks like --cc-cmd or sendemail.aliasesfile might make it
easier, but I'd have to set them up.
