git-send-email: default values do not work

I'm using git v1.4.4.4, and trying to use directly git-send-email on plain 
files.

bug #1 (default values when prompting do not work)

According to git-send-email documentation, it should suggest default values 
when prompting the user.

However it does not, since ->readline does not accept a default value.

I've verified this in man Term\:\:ReadLine and by looking 
at /usr/share/perl/5.8.7/Term/ReadLine.pm, and with the perl debugger - the 
default is correctly calculated but not printed. At least with my perl 
(5.8.7, from up-to-date Ubuntu 6.06 LTS).

git-send-email should instead say "press Enter for default [$default]" and 
behave correspondingly.

bug #2 (subject line is cut away but ignored)

Additionally, I was sending a patch starting with (on 1st line):

Kconfig: FAULT_INJECTION can be selected only if LOCKDEP is enabled.

'Kconfig:' is interpreted as a mbox parameter, and ignored, and that line is 
removed from the email.

This should be documented and pitfall, and probably the user should be allowed 
to override that.

Thanks.
