To whom should the emails be sent (if anyone)?
Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email (if any)?
(mbox) Adding cc: Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com> from line 'From: Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com>'
(mbox) Adding to: "Foo V . Bar" <foo@bar.com> from line 'To: Foo V. Bar <foo@bar.com>'

I know I should theoretically use --to='"Foo V. Bar" <foo@bar.com>',
but it is a bit inconvenient, since I just copy the address from
Thunderbird, which doesn't add the double quotes.  Why is git adding
that spurious space before the dot?  Can it be fixed without breaking
other stuff?

Thanks,
Alex
