Summary ⇒ '.' character in Identity 'full name' yields unsendable e-mail due to malformed from address

malformed from address when passed to the MTA.
Example:
Fullname: J.H.
e-mail: jh@example.com
Yields:
There was an error sending your message: Validation failed for: J.H.
<jh@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@example.com>
as opposed to what I believe is actually correct as
"J.H." <jh@example.com>
Removing the '.' characters from the full name identity does succeed
in sending mail
