Rails - Jul 2006 - quotes in email address for mailer

I am trying to use the mailer to send email.  I want to create a
sender and a recipient address that is in this form (note the quotes
around the sender name):

"sender name" sender@domain.com

To do this, in my sender model, I have tried something like this:

  def combined_address
    return "\"" + self.name + "\"" + "
<" + self.email + ">"
  end

However, the quotes around the name seem for some reason to be
stripped when I call the Mail object from the controller like this:

Mailit.deliver_sendTheMail(@sender.combined_name, @recipient.combined_name)

When the mail is sent, it arrives in the mailbox looking like this
(quotes are gone):
sender name sender@domain.com

What should I be doing to get this to have the address contain the quotes?
