If you try to git-send-email a commit for which you are not the "Author",
it will still send the email with you as the "From:", but there will be
an extra "From:" line in the body, such that when applied, the correct
author will be used.  In other words, it works to git-send-email patches
made by somebody else.

Thanks for sending a new version, I'll take a look.
