[PATCH v2 08/10] parser: Correct empty email value check

[Stephen Finucane]

From: Stephen Finucane <stephen.finucane at intel.com>

The check for empty emails in 'find_author' checked for None, but it
was not possible to ever return None unless the 'From:' header was
missing altogether. Seeing as, per RFC822 and its revisions, this is
not possible, check for the empty string instead.
