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” [email protected]

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 [email protected]

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