Attempting to fetch 2d221984-7a2e-7006-0f8a-ffb5f64ee885@axentia.se with
b4 am I get a mailbox which is for example interpreted by mutt as:
-> 1 N 09/16 Peter Rosin (1.7K)
2 N C 09/20 Peter Rosin ( 0K) [PATCH] ASoC: pcm512x: Mend accesses to
Due to the fact that the message has a From line in it as well as a
From: but that doesn't get escaped by b4 so mail software interprets it
as the start of a new message in the mailbox.

Unfortunately, the "mbox" files that git expects for "git am" are not the
"mbox" files expected by mutt and other MUAs. If we escape the "From " entries
as mandated by the format, they don't get unescaped by "git am" and make their
way into git commits:
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/137733d08f4a
There is no working around this, short of saving everything as maildirs.

Hrm, right. That's awesome. There's something fishy going on here
somewhere thoguh - I'm also seeing it failing to find the patch in
60f0c65bbd52479cb83683b8475af435@bytesnap.co.uk
which has similar kinds of malformation in the incoming message, though
the result ends up different.

Hmm... this looks like a bug. I'll check it out.
