From: Brandon Casey <drafnel@gmail.com>
Add a new command line option --add-author-from and a config option
sendemail.addauthorfrom which will ensure that a From: line is added
to the message body regardless of whether the sender email matches the
From: line parsed from the supplied patch (i.e. the patch author).
This provides a work-around for mail gateways which override the From:
line of submitted messages.

I don't know if anyone else has the same problem, but I sometimes use a
mail gateway which forces a certain From: line overriding what is
supplied in the email. So, for me, the solution this patch provides could
be achieved by just typing in some bogus string when git-send-email prompts
for the From address, but this patch is more convenient and more general.
