I believe all relevant tools use the From: header (unless it's overridden by a From: in the message body). I think this is how Linus originally wanted it to work -- in the first linux-kernel commit his e-mail is torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and I seem to recall him saying something along the lines of this being a feature: others could see which machine he commited on, and the e-mail should really be considered more of a unique identifier than an actual real e-mail address. Not sure if the policy has changed since then, though. -- Karl Hasselström, kha@xxxxxxxxxxx www.treskal.com/kalle -- 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
