Hello Alex, I really don't like this double "From:" header and I manually remove it every time I (re)generate a patch with devtool. I admit this is a matter of taste and that the problem only appears in my configuration (it seems). I won't mind is this patch is dropped, but, on the other hand it only does force the default (--no-from) Regards, -- Yoann Congal Smile ECS
