git send-email

[Tobin Harding]

Workflow -

$ git format-patch -s -1

add patch comment then

$ git send-email

Question please -

Who should the email be sent to without having a 'To' address repeated in the CC
field generated by `git send-email`.

To rephrase the question: git send-email CC's everyone who may be interested
according to get_maintainers.pl. Will I annoy people if I address them in the To
field as well as the CC field.

Thank you in advance for your time,
Tobin Harding.

I usually add only the maintainer and the mailing list as To: and the
rest in Cc.

When using git send-email all emails originating with myself have the
word 'To' in the recipient field (in both mutt and web based email
client).

Single line as view in mutt;

8   F Feb 09 To David S. Mil (3.5K) ??>[PATCH 4/4] net: Fix check

git send-email command used ;

$ git send-email  \
   --to="David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>"  \
   --cc="netdev at vger.kernel.org, linuk-kernel at vger.kernel.org"  \
   --cover-letter *.patch


Am I using git incorrectly?

$ cat ~/.gitconfig
...

[sendemail]
	from = Tobin C. Harding <me@tobin.cc>
	smtpuser = *********
	smtppass = *********
	smtpserver = mail.messagingengine.com
	smtpencryption = tls
	smtpserverport = 587
	confirm = auto
...


thanks,
Tobin.

As the behaviour I am questioning has displayed itself with the
original message, this must not have anything to do with `git
send-email` but rather must be a mutt thing.

Any ideas most appreciated but I realize now this is probably not the
correct place to ask.

Thanks for your time anyways, apologies for the noise.

thanks,
Tobin.

Hi Tobin,

You are right, this is just a matter of how mutt displays messages that you
sent. The "To" is hard-coded before the destination as a visual cue. When
in doubt, you can always use "h" in message view to see the full headers.

Regards,
Vlad
