git-send-email seems to strip out my custom headers.
git-format-patch says it can do this:

CONFIGURATION You can specify extra mail header lines to be added to each message in the repository configuration as follows: headers = "Organization: git-foo\n"

So I have this:
$ cat .git/config
[format]
        headers = Reply-To: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org>\nOrganization: Intel Open Source Technology Center\n

$ git-format-patch -o foo -n --thread master..lenb seems to correctly pick up the headers:

$ cat foo/0001-test-create-junk.txt

Same thing happens if I use the SMTP server inside Intel.
I haven't figured out how to send directly via kernel.org using this command
kmail uses a password and ssh to talk to kernel.org.
This is actually sort of an issue too, because smtp.comcast.net
limits the number of messages sent per connection and
will drop after 10 messages with this:
requested action aborted: too many messages on a single connection

thanks,
