So I just grabbed the gregkh-2.6 set of patches and with an unmodified
git-mailinfo I only have problems with the following patches:
	gregkh/gkh-version.patch
	gregkh/sysfs-test.patch
	gregkh/gregkh-usb-minors.patch
	gregkh/gregkh-debugfs_example.patch
	gregkh/gpl_future-test.patch
	usb/usb-gotemp.patch

None of which actually have from headers.

Currently git-mailinfo distinguishes headers and non-headers by the presence of the first blank line. So it seems to work just fine on mbox format patches.
