I'd actually like a forwarded message that I can directly feed
to "git am", with Sign-offs and Acked-bys, but being explicit
would be good enough.

I often do not have enough mental and time bandwidth to hunt for
messages more than 2 weeks old in the list archive, so unless
the response is direct reply to the original, I'd rather not
rely on the threading feature. IOW, I can move to grandparent by
typing ^ just fine, but uncles and aunts are harder to find
without reloading my MUA full message archive for N weeks worth.
