I was actually printing out the config using `git config --local --list`. The actual config file has the two lines: [sendemail] smtpserveroption = -a Regards, Chris signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Question - no space in smtp-server-option
Hello Git community, To send a formatted git patch as an email using git I use `git send-email`. Using another email address than my default one requires the 'smtp-server-option' to be set, and currently this flag doesn't care much for spaces. Is this desired? Currently my gitconfig contains the following line: sendemail.smtpserveroption=-a Whereas, the following results in an 'account' not found error: sendemail.smtpserveroption=-a Further, the full account flag (--account) is not recognized by `send-email`. Could someone expand a bit on the reasoning behind this? Regards, Chris signature.asc Description: PGP signature
