When you use git send-email, the content of the Cc: trailers ends up both in the body of the message and in the Cc: field of the same message. If you need the mention to appear in the body of the message, then using parenthesis is fine: git send-email won't remove it (more precisely, "send-email" will call "format-patch" which won't remove it). Not an objection to patching send-email anyway, but if there's a simple and RFC-compliant way to do what you're looking for, we can as well use it (possibly in addition to patching). -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
