Re: [PATCH RESEND] send-email: add 'specify-author' option

Some mail servers (Microsoft Exchange) mangle the 'From' header, so
while applying the patches, the author has to be fixed manually.

This option allows to always specify the author of the commit in the
body of the message, even if the committer is the author.

I imagine a user forced to send her email over such a broken server
would have this problem all the time.  Wouldn't a config option be in
order?

There is a config option, but I guess I forgot to add the documentation.

Cheers.
