NACK.

I never use send-email myself. There are even technical issues to my 
excuse: sometimes I cannot send the mails from my machine. So, this should 
not be a _replacement_ for `git format-patch -M && send mail manually`, 
but only an _alternative_.

However, my impression was that many people had problems when first 
sending patches with send-email. There should be _at least_ a word of 
caution, that you should test the operation on something different than 
the Git list first.

Is this workding okay?

        - send your patch to [off-list ref] by using
          git-format-patch(1) with option "-M". If you use  
          git-send-email(1), please test it first by sending 
          email to yourself.
