You can howev= er use any IMAP email client to connect to the google imap server, and forward the emails through that. Just make sure to disable line wrappi= ng in that email client. Alternatively, use "git send-email" instead. Submitting properly formatted patches via Gmail is simple now that IMAP support is available. First, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify you= r account settings: [imap] folder =3D "[Gmail]/Drafts" host =3D imaps://imap.gmail.com user =3D user@gmail.com pass =3D p4ssw0rd port =3D 993 sslverify =3D false You might need to instead use: folder =3D "[Google Mail]/Drafts" if you= get an error that the "Folder doesn't exist". Next, ensure that your Gmail settings are correct. In "Settings" the "Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages" should be checked. Once your commits are ready to send to the mailing list, run the follow= ing command to send the patch emails to your Gmail Drafts folder. $ git format-patch -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send Go to your Gmail account, open the Drafts folder, find the patch email, fill in the To: and CC: fields and send away!
