As pointed out earlier, we want to see this line look like
    From: Rodrigo Michelassi <rodmichelassi@gmail.com>

This often comes from your commit object; you'd have to fix it there to match "Rodrigo Michelassi <rodmichelassi@gmail.com>" used to sign off this patch, something like:

 $ git commit --no-edit --amend \
   --author="Rodrigo Michelassi <rodmichelassi@gmail.com>"
while you have that commit checked out, and then
 $ git format-patch >patch.txt --stdout -v4 -1 HEAD

to prepare the patch, proofread it and then optionally after fixing anything you found problematic in your proofreading, run git-send-email on it.

Because your MUA already gives the name you use on your signed-off-by line on the From: line, optionally you can just edit the line out before sending, i.e. after the format-patch produces the text file, before send-email sends the file out.

> Sorry for the wrong commit message on V2.

Anything you write in the body of the message, before the three-dash line, goes to the resulting commit log message. You do not want to etch the above message into stone. You can write such an ephemeral message after the three-dash lines. See these for examples.

Ditto.

The changes to the test look good to me.
