If there is a From: header in the beginning of the mail body, it is used as the Author instead of the From: header in the mail header. It would make sense if there is a Date: header in the beginning of the mail body, it should be used instead of Date: field in the mail header. The problem is that if existing git clients don't support this, it wouldn't be safe to start emmiting patches with that format for at least a year or two until the prerequisite version of git gets wide adoption. Alternatively, there could be a git option which causes something like X-Git-Author-Date: to be set in the mail header. - Ted
