And yes, git will strip out all the crap and try to make it into a real name. The part _you_ don't seem to understand is that my point is - git changed that "From:" line to an "Author:" line - "git log" isn't an email system. It's a human-readable (and machine-parseable, for that matter) log. If you want to turn it into emails, you need to follow the email rules. You're cutting-and-pasting anyway, it's not like this is fundamentally hard.
