Indeed, that should work. As I understand it, I wouldn't even have to
further edit the email (except strip the reply) because git am prefers
headers in the patch to headers in the message (it certainly does that
for From:, so I suspect it would do it for Date: and Subject: as well).
Or if that doesn't work, Arnd's suggestion to use a scissors line is a
good alternative as well.

Thanks guys for the suggestions,
Thierry
