Any ideas what's going on there? send-email will create a "from" line in the body of the message if the "sender" (using --from, or answering "Who should the emails appear to be from") doesn't match the patch's author (the "From:" line in the generated patch, which comes from the author field of the commit). The line is interpeted by git-am to properly credit the original author. It looks like you are committing as jon.delStrother@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, but sending the emails as maillist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
