And the solution to avoid triggering the check failure is to include
'From: you <real@address>' as the first line of the body (which will
then override whatever header mangling the list inflicted on your
message).  There are supposedly ways to configure git to do this
automatically for you as part of 'git send-email', but as I don't suffer
from the problem, I'm not sure off-hand what those steps are (git config
format.from ?)
