it's rather ugly :)
I suggest use re module as follow:

import re
address[i] = re.sub('(`|"|\n)',re.MULTILINE,address[i])

if you've a big chunck of email it'd be fine to compile the regex.

match = re.compile(`|"|\n)
address[i] = match.sub(address[i])

I think there would be a problem with unicode email addresses. But I doubt
the existance of unicode addresses nowadays.
Unsure for the syntax, pls check

same
