I'm going to point fingers at git-send-email here, because it shouldn't stick
another From: into the body when it already sees a From: there. You should
report this to git maintainers as a bug.

That said...

Right, we're not doing quite the right thing here either, because when there's
a sendemail.from set up, we should be using that instead of the user.name +
user.email. I'll see how we can fix this up to do the right thing.

Thank you for the report.
