Yoohoo, it worked in my case, through this message I've just sent:
https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-docs/[email protected]/T/#u

All I had to do was add this line to my ~/.gitconfig file (in the
[sendemail] section):
        from = [email protected]

Now, there is an explicity "From" field in the body of the e-mail
received through the mailing list.

Compare with
https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-docs/[email protected]/T/#u,
in which there was just the "Signed-off-by" information.

Many thanks, Quentin!
Cheers
Michael.
