I don't do this for normal patches, but I do it on my upstream PR.
After preparing the PR e-mail with:
git request-pull {self.origin} git://{self.tree} {self.tag}
(you can use git format-email instead for patch series)
I use:
git imap-send
On my .git/config, I have:
[imap]
tunnel = {my_home_dir}/bin/dovecot-imap.sh
folder = Drafts
the tunnel script redirects the e-mails to dovecot imap daemon:
#!/bin/sh
export MBOX_LOCKS=fcntl
MAIL={my_imap_folder_location}
exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
With that, the e-mails go to my Drafts folder. This way, I end sending
the e-mails prepared by git using my MUA. One of the advantages is that
I can modify the e-mail as needed. I the case of PRs, I use it to add
a summary of what is there at the PR.
Thanks,
Mauro
