Guess I've been reading too much spam.

Arnd already explained this to me, and I did catch it with V9. This time I forgot. I would like to get to the bottom of this. Here is what I did: 1. Saved your patch to disk in mbox format using Mutt. 2. git am 3. ... rebase, rebase, rebase, ... 4. git format-patch [options] 1234..abcd 5. Edit cover letter 6. for x in 00*; do mutt -H $x; done Git format-patch places the "From: John Stultz <[email protected]>" line with the other mail headers, and so I guess mutt just faithfully preserves this. I don't like having to remember to fix this manually. There must be a better way...
