Actually one thing that makes this less of a problem, is that if you get the
mail directly then the From is fine.

ie. for this patch I was on Cc, so the list didn't send me a copy, I just got
it straight from Anton. So if I was wanting to git-am this mail I'd be fine.

Not saying that's a solution, but it's something.

cheers
