I think you need a slightly different example to actually express this
problem. If the phrase had instead been 'John D. "Cool" Bloggs', then you
have the problem of a quoted string in a quoted string more clearly
expressed, and I think the simple solution is to reapply the quoting rules
so you end up with something like:
sender = "\"John D. \\\"Cool\\\" Bloggs" <jdbloggs(_at_)example(_dot_)com>"
