Yuck.

Somebody using am/applymbox is not writing that "From: " line
himself.  The person who writes that "From: " line writes that
into his MUA when sending a patch --- that is "editing an
email", so there is a consistency between that activity and use
of word "From: ".

The editor for commit message does not have anything to do with
e-mail.  What you are talking about is not consistency, but
confusion.
