If you are resending a patch written by someone else you need to include a From: line with the complete attribution. Alternatively if you have made significant changes you need to add a "Based on a patch by" note in the log message.
I looked but couldn't find any doc for how the From: line is supposed to look, do you mean the smtp From line, or something embedded in the message? I'll try something and see whether you like it :-)
It should be in the body of the message, in the same format as it would have been on the original mail.
The best way is to commit the patch to your tree with the correct authorship information, and then send the complete git-format-patch output with all the headers in the body of your mail. If my commit script detects an embedded git commit in the mail body it will ignore the actual SMTP headers in favor of the git info.
