Interesting to know. I have intentionally _not_ been including them,
because I assumed you marked up _after_ git-am (i.e., via "git commit
--amend) in which case you would have to delete it manually. I suppose
it makes more sense to do so before git-am, though, since then it will
respect From: fields and the like (which it would otherwise ignore,
since they are blocked by all of the cover letter cruft that you will
end up deleting).

So good to know, and I will start generating my patches differently.
