You didn't read what I said.

I extract the commit messages and patches using "git format-patch"
merely as a formality, then I hand craft every aspect of the emails.

I never put "Date:" fields into the message body, that's rediculiously
stupid. And it confuses patchwork as well. Just say NO.

If necessary I put the From: field in there to specify the author, or
leave it out when it's me (which is %99.9999 of the time).
