A separate issue: please, don't send patches like that as attachment. It makes
hard for people review. Instead, you should use git send-email. There's even
an example there (at least on git version 1.7.8) showing how to set it for
Google:

$ git help send-email
...
EXAMPLE
    Use gmail as the smtp server
        To use git send-email to send your patches through the GMail SMTP server, edit ~/.gitconfig to specify your
        account settings:

            [sendemail]
                    smtpencryption = tls
                    smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
                    smtpuser = yourname@gmail.com
                    smtpserverport = 587

        Once your commits are ready to be sent to the mailing list, run the following commands:

            $ git format-patch --cover-letter -M origin/master -o outgoing/
            $ edit outgoing/0000-*
            $ git send-email outgoing/*

        Note: the following perl modules are required Net::SMTP::SSL, MIME::Base64 and Authen::SASL
...

In practice, I generally just do this here:
	$ git send-email [some obj reference]

For example, when I want to send the last 3 patches, I just do:
	$ git send-email HEAD^1^1^1

Mauro.
