Well, that solves it from copying the header into the Cc list. But then I
have this error when running the git am:

error: cannot convert from US-ASCII to UTF-8
fatal: could not parse patch

But you are right. It's the copying of the header Cc list into the Cc list
of the commit that is causing my issue. Will investigate it more.

I probably could just stop doing that, as it also adds the Link: tag to the
lore email, which includes all the Cc's.
