I also check my patch with the same way. It shows From: Liming Gao <liming.gao@intel.com>. This is correct. So, I don't know this is user setting issue or group.io issue.

My understanding is that this is unrelated to groups.io. The same kind of email mangling used to happen a *lot* on the old <01.org> list. (From a number of senders.) Here's an example:

(1) Locate the message at

  https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2019-March/038118.html

It looks correct, right?

(2) Now locate the same message in a different archive, e.g. at:

  http://mid.mail-archive.com/20190324020033.50367-1-rebecca@bluestop.org

Notice it says "Rebecca Cran via edk2-devel".

(3) In my local copy of that message, I see the following headers:

- From: Rebecca Cran via edk2-devel <edk2-devel@lists.01.org>
- Reply-To: Rebecca Cran <rebecca@bluestop.org>
- Sender: "edk2-devel" <edk2-devel-bounces@lists.01.org>

The damage is done before the patch receives the list(s), and/or is fed to git-am on the maintainer side.

If I remember correctly, this is somehow related to Outlook (i.e., the sender's MUA / first MTA), not the mailing list(s), or git.

Thanks
