I noticed that the From: field generated by git-format-patch does not

conform to RFC822 format when the realname contains a dot (like mine).

Do we want to fix that in git-format-patch (only), or do we even want to

fix that in the stored commit author and committer fields?

This was fixed in RFC 2822, and the fix has already been deployed widely

(even before the advent of RFC 2822).  I don't think there's any need to

change GIT.

True indeed.  Ironically, the vger.kernel.org mailserver adheres to

RFC822 and ignores RFC2822 at the moment, which means that generating patches

from git, for the git mailinglist doesn't work without intervention.

I already contacted the vger-mailserver admin about this.

I'd suspect that the answer should be "Neither", and rather inside

send-email.
