+GMail does not appear to have any way to turn off line wrapping in the web
+interface, so this will mangle any emails that you send. You can however
+use any IMAP email client to connect to the google imap server, and forward
+the emails through that. Just make sure to disable line wrapping in that
+email client.

Submitting properly formatted patches via Gmail is simple now that
IMAP support is available. First, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
account settings:
[imap]
- folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
+ folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts"
host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
user = user@gmail.com
pass = p4ssw0rd
