Actually the From header in my local patch is correct (<first name> 
<last name>, Frieder Schrempf) as it comes from my git config. But since 
our company was renamed and our mail servers were transferred, our 
e-mails are sent with From=<last name> <first name>.

It seems like git send-email or patchwork or whatever uses the 
information from the e-mail header instead of what is in the patch.

I will try to raise this issue with our IT department as this would be 
best fixed on their side.

Thanks,
Frieder
