Having a period in your "full name" in a given identity yields a  
malformed from address when passed to the MTA.

Example:

Fullname: J.H.
e-mail: jh at example.com

Yields:

There was an error sending your message: Validation failed for: J.H.  
<jh at example.com>

In the compose window for an e-mail, and yields something akin to:

Feb 23 22:00:19 server sendmail[30803]: n1O60J3H030803:  
server.example.com [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN  
during connection to MTA

(at least for sendmail)

This looks like the from address is actually getting

J.H. <jh at example.com>

as opposed to what I believe is actually correct as

"J.H." <jh at example.com>

Removing the '.' characters from the full name identity does succeed  
in sending mail
