It supports changing it by including git_multimail.py and changing the 
template variable values.

E.g., using the following as post-receive hook (requires git_multimail.py to 
be in the hooks directory) might work

That way changing git_multimail.py is not necessary and therefore upgrading it 
should be less hassle.  But I'm not sure if the code encodes the Mail-
Followup-To header correctly.

See "Customizing email contents" and "Customizing git-multimail for your 
environment" in git_multimail's README.
