bug in mail-utils.el: mail-strip-quoted-names

   The following occurred with Emacs 18.55 on DG/UX 4.30 with Gnus 3.13.

   While using Gnus I ran across an article without a from header line that
I wanted to save (via Gnus through rmail-output).

   However, rmail-strip-quoted-names bombed on a string-match because the
address passed in was nil.  The following patch fixes this problem:

(This patch is optimized for space - I didn't put the "(if mail-use..." on
a new line because it would mean reindenting everything and making a much
larger patch.  But feel free to do it by hand.)
