Summary: Remove commas from sender's name in e-mail

Initial Comment:
On my system there are multiple sections to the name
field in  /etc/passwd, separated by commas:

elliot:x:1018:1018:Elliot
Schwartz,,,:/home/elliot:/bin/bash

When the e-mail is sent, it includes the commas:

From: Elliot Schwartz,,, <el...@mi...>

I fixed this by changing:

name = pwinfo[4]

to:

name = pwinfo[4].split(",")[0]

But maybe there's a better way to do this using the pwd
library.

Same effect here, cvs-syncmail brags out the fields
with phone number etc. otherwise. Patch works for me,
would recommend adding it.
