Just to make sure: I was talking about potentially changing other lines
*within the same function* that I am already touching, and that is what
I am not supposed to do, right?

Okay I will commit that rule to memory.

One day, one day.

Are you talking about the responses that other humans write?  E.g when
you reply to

  From: Jonas, Cc: Jonas

and you do a "reply all", then that results in

  To: Jonas, Cc: Jonas

Since I cannot find such a message, I assume you manually modified those
messages before sending.  Otherwise please give me an example of such a
message, so that I can inspect it.

My current understanding is that even if this is the case I don't really
have a choice.  I need the messages that I send using "git send-email"
to appear in my email client.  That only happens if I CC the message to
me.  If that results in the replies to those messages arriving twice in
my inbox, then that is unfortunate but the lesser evil.  (But please
enlighten me if I still get something wrong.)
