Weird. On my system: $ git send-email -1 --to=peff@xxxxxxxx --dry-run | grep ^Cc Cc: Stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[4.8+]> $ sudo apt-get install libmailtools-perl ... apt-get cruft ... $ git send-email -1 --to=peff@xxxxxxxx --dry-run | grep ^Cc Cc: "Stable [4.8+]" <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I wonder if the version matters (mine is 2.13-1, packaged by Debian). > I solved my immediate problem by moving the [4.8+] between Stable and the > starting <. The result is spaced funny, but at least the info is there.
