Even so, it would still be very picky about the layout.  --suppress-from should 
just compare the actual email addresses, not the names or any other characters.

Yes.  If I don't specify --from, then git-send-email will prompt me for the 
From: address.  I want git-send-email to be completely non-interactive.

Actually, I figured out the problem is that I can't do this:

FROM='--from "Foo Barson <foo@barson.com>"'
git-send-email $FROM ...

I got all sorts of weird messages about unbalanced > or something.  Instead, I 
need to do this:

FROM="Foo Barson <foo@barson.com>"
git-send-email --from $FROM ...

This is probably a shell issue instead of a git-send-email issue, but it is 
annoying.
