Hi sourceware overseers,

The mailinglist From/Reply-To mangling doesn't interact nicely with
git am. For example I got the following message from Matthias (in CC):
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2020q1/002484.html
Which looks fine in the archives, but as received by me has:

  X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.25.1.481.gfbce0eb801-goog
  Subject: [PATCH] libelf: decompress: ensure zlib resource cleanup
  To: elfutils-devel@sourceware.org
  From: Matthias Maennich via Elfutils-devel <elfutils-devel@sourceware.org>
  Reply-To: Matthias Maennich <maennich@google.com>

Normally I just | git am such messages to apply, but that generates a
commit that has:

  Author: Matthias Maennich via Elfutils-devel <elfutils-devel@sourceware.org>

Which seems wrong. How are others dealing with this?

Thanks,

Mark
