Yuck.
Somebody using am/applymbox is not writing that "From: " line
himself. The person who writes that "From: " line writes that
into his MUA when sending a patch --- that is "editing an
email", so there is a consistency between that activity and use
of word "From: ".
The editor for commit message does not have anything to do with
e-mail. What you are talking about is not consistency, but
confusion.

I don't imagine that the person "editing" the commit message is
doing so in this case either, rather copy-n-pasting. If you're
really dead-set against this method, you should at least consider
adding it as a command line option, because having to set this
via environment variables is a much bigger Yuck.
