Hi, Jim -

Good points.

Another related point.  We are comingling email as a communication
medium AND a commit transport medium.  For the former, as in patch
review / RFC, one may not require a form of the patch that is finally
committable to master, so the exact From: etc. may not matter.  For
the latter, attachments are more bullet-proof.
