Hi,

git-send-email has a lot more mail processing power than
git-format-patch. For example, there is no way to fill in "To:" with
git-format-patch.

I use this because I want to send the emails with my mail client
(Claws-Mail), not directly. This allows me to use git-send-email to
process patches instead of kludging the headers with something like
formail.
