Umm. Those signed-off ones weren't even _converted_ They were written by 
people.

Also, you seemed to miss the point that it's not a name+email-address. 

It's a name. Oh, and there's an email address too. But they aren't 
connected. We often just print out the name *without* the email address. 
Why should those things have to know about some totally irrelevant email 
quoting rules? They weren't emails, didn't know about it, and didn't care.
