Compare your message I am responding here, with your message with
the patch in it.

This one has a perfectly usable "From:" address,

    From:   Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com>

while the patch e-mail has

    From:   emilyshaffer@google.com

which cannot be quite usable as the author identity.
