[PATCH] Change git-send-email's sendemail-validate hook to use header information

From
SMStrawbridge, Michael <michael.strawbridge@amd.com>
Date
Nov 9, 2022, 18:23 UTC
Message-ID
<20221109182254.71967-1-michael.strawbridge@amd.com>

Since commit-msg and pre-commit git hooks already expose commit contents, switch sendemail-validate to use the header information of the email that git-send-email intends to send.
