Summary
=======
git-format-patch in 2.32.0 fails to quote/escape lines starting with
"From ", and mbox readers conclude there is an empty mail.
Observed
========
$ git commit -m 'subject
From ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
with love.'
$ git format-patch HEAD^!
$ head 0001-subject.patch

$ git reset --hard HEAD^
$ git am -p0 0001-subject.patch
Patch is empty.
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".

"git format-patch --pretty=mboxrd" and "git am --patch-format" should
solve this issue for you.
