So I sent the patch again, but this time I changed the name field in
.gitconfig from "Tze-nan.Wu"(internal-use) to "Tze-nan Wu".
This can avoid the line "From: Tze-nan.Wu<Tze-nan.Wu@xxxxxxxxxxxx>"
being added to the mail when we execute "git send-email", and it works,
the last patch I sent is not filter out anymore.

Here is the magore difference between the patches:
old patch(fail):
From: "Tze-nan Wu" <Tze-nan.Wu@xxxxxxxxxxxx> <== (modify by editor
from Tze-nan.Wu to Tze-nan Wu)
---
new patch(success):
From: Tze-nan Wu <Tze-nan.Wu@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
