[PATCH] Make git-mailinfo strip whitespace from the start of the mail file.
This allows you to use files gotten through gmail's web interface via its 'Show original' option.

Note that this doesn't exactly follow RFC 2822 as far as i can see, but i don't know if git prefers to be strict or tolerant in these cases, so i'm sending the patch anyway.
It certaily helps me, even if just a little bit.
