Thanks. I think you covered most of them correctly; I only have one

This is half-true, I think. The message you are responding to had
only two dashes, not three.

The usual way to do what the original wanted to do is like this:

	... e-mail headers like From:, Subject:, ...

	Hi,

        Here is a second attempt.

        Subject: Documentation: clarify --verify signature

	Clarify that only the signature of the commit at the tip of
	the branch being merged is checked.  Also align the
	vocabulary to describe key & signature validity with those
	used by OpenPGP, namely:

         - a signature is valid if ...
         ...
         - a key is trusted if ...

	Signed-off-by: A U Thor <au@xxxxxxx>

Notice the "-- >8 --" (cut here) line.  "am" will notice it, discard
what it has read so far and restart from there.
