If that's the case, then I can't accept an invalid "From:" line on a
patch, sorry.  I need an address of someone that will be responsible for
it.

So in that case, put your address as a "From:" and in the body say,
"Originally written by .... but forward ported by me" or something to
that affect.

thanks,
