Make git-send-email detect mbox-style patches more readily

From: Matthew Wilcox <hidden>

Earlier today, I embarrassed myself by trying to construct a patch that
git-send-email would send, and I missed out the putting
From garbage
line on the front, which led it to send the patches with a
Subject: From: Matthew Wilcox [off-list ref]
line.  Bad.

This patch makes git-send-email detect an mbox-style file more readily,
and correctly handles the patches I constructed.
