Applying attached patches with git-am fails due to leading > in patch

Hi everyone,

when I get an email with a patch attached, instead of inline, and save
the attachment; the first line "From <hash> ..." has a ">" in front of
it, which causes git-am to not recognize the patch format.

Would it be possible to just ignore the > on that line and then read
the patch correctly? It's a bit annoying to have to remove one byte at
the beginning of the patch before I can apply it.

Thanks,

Julian
