I wouldn't say that the existing option names to send-email are great, but
I have to say that the one added by this is simply horrible ;-)

The first paragraph of the proposed commit log message states the problem
it tries to address very clearly, which is good, but is "From: " the only
thing that needs this?  I am wondering if this should be named and behave
more like "--duplicate-header" or "--in-body-header".
