Is there any tricks to do this ? thanks -- ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2006-11-30 15:39 Subject: Re: How to prepend data when formatting patches ?

StGIT adds this line automatically in the message body (and recently only if the sender is different from the patch author but the templates are flexible and can be changed). -- ``` ## Francis Moreau, 2006-11-30 16:16 Subject: Re: How to prepend data when formatting patches ?

But since it appends the line at the end of mail header, it does the right thing for me.

Johannes adviced me to use: [format] headers = "Organization: git-foo\n" configuration. And it works both for mail header and message body. thanks -- ```
