This in-body From: line is either (1) something you would write yourself in your MUA, in which case you can just write your Google address, or (2) the author identity a tool picks up and insert at the body of the message for you, in which case you would make sure that the commit is made under your Google identity (e.g. "commit --amend --author=..."). Either case, I am not sure where the need for send-email comes from.
