I've been using "git send-email" for patches, and have Thunderbird as my MUA otherwise. (I'd use (al)pine if I could make it work with Exchange/NTLM at work, but that's another story...) I've been transfering recipients (--to and --cc) from Thunderbird to the commandline with copy/paste. In Thurderbird, copying an email address from a message only gets you the user@domain part, not the "Full Name" . To get the "Full Name" I would have to View Message Source and pickout the CC line, which is marginally harder. And on the commandline, instead of just pasting an email as a shell word, I'd have to add single quotes (I think) to keep the whole "Full Name" as one word and quote the shell meta characters. Neither piece is all that onerous, I guess. Sounds like you would see some value in the full names. Maybe I'll try including them on my next patch. Looks like --cc-cmd or sendemail.aliasesfile might make it easier, but I'd have to set them up. Marcel
