Hydroxide is a very popular third party client for ProtonMail free

properly. Add it as an option for using with send-email.

I just realised the From in this email is showing "Your Name" instead of my name. It was due to a mistake in my .gitconfig. Do I have to resend this?

With in-body header "From:" overriding that bogosity with the real
author, it shouldn't be necessary, but I do not recall seeing the
patch nor (more importantly) a discussion on it.
