Is $author already sanitized at this point in the code? I see it
was unwrapped with unquote_rfc2047 after it was read from the From:
line; will it always be the same as sanitize_address($author) would
return, and if not, would you rather compare between sanitized
versions of sender and author, no?
Also, isn't the $sender the same during the whole outer loop that
iterates over @files? Do we need to apply sanitize_address() on it
over and over for each and every logical line in the @header?
This comment also applies to the other patch but they probably
should become a single patch anyway, I guess?
