Currently git-mailinfo distinguishes headers and non-headers by the
presence of the first blank line.  So it seems to work just fine on
mbox format patches.

The program was designed to be fed one e-mail a time (the
intended way for it to work is that a wrapper script uses
git-mailsplit to break mbox up and call git-mailinfo one by
one).

In this case what is meant is a leading "From " header (no colon)
at the start of the patch.

Where git-mailinfo is likely to fall down is more in the quilt
patches from Andi Kleen. If you look at my quoted patch header below
you will see the subject is a plain line, followed by a space followed
by a from.  On this example git-mailinfo works (except for picking up
the subject) but it appears to be a fluke.

From x86_64-mm-add-abilty-to-enable-disable-nmi-watchdog-from-sysfs.patch:

Add abilty to enable/disable nmi watchdog with sysctl

From: dzickus <redacted>

Adds a new /proc/sys/kernel/nmi call that will enable/disable the nmi
watchdog.
