A change only for send-email does sound quite attractive.

I encourage folks to run format-patch first, make amends as needed in the output files, proofread the result once again, all before finally handing it to send-email for sending out. If a "force in-body headers" command line option plus a configuration variable added to "git send-email" would work for them, I would be OK with such a change.

There may be folks who do not use "git send-email" to send out their patches, and a change to "git format-patch" may help them, though.

Thanks.
