Sorry about this but I'm floundering. The problem I'm having is that my git-send-email
is being rejected by several of the recipients on this thread (notably linux-fbdev).
The reason is that their servers perform sender verification which is fair and understandable.
See my first attempt at sending the patch which made it to davinci-linux-open-source but
not fbdev. My attempt at a solution was to first send it to my corporate account, which doesn't
verify the address, then forward from Outlook. But this is non-functional as you pointed out.

I am not an email expert by any means and don't know how to test different options without
spamming the mailing lists with test emails. The root cause, I think, is that even though
I am using git-send-email with the .gitconfig pointing to our corporate mail server the resultant
header (or maybe ID) is not passing the verification step on the receiving end. 

I have tried from both within cygwin and linux running under VMWare. Next step will be
to try and send from a real linux machine on the corporate network but I'm doubting this
will resolve the problem. And/or see if I can script Outlook to not convert whitespace --
this I can test without annoying others.

Regards, 
Martin
