Each time I'm doing this, I'm manually fixing the From: field in the mbox file, hoping it will be used by git send-email, and each time I'm disappointing to see git send-email use the broken author name as default value. Obviously, the proper fix would be for me to remember to set up git config user.email before issuing any command ... but the so-called human nature tells me it's definitely not my fault, the tool get it wrong and should be fixed :) Perhaps I should learn to use git send-email --from instead. > > - Use To: field extracted from patch > > I've setup format-patch to add a default To: field with > > format.headers="To: xxx@yyy".
