There is a bug in git-send-mail in the 'next' branch. If first
paragraph of the file in all indented by 1 space, and 1st line of the
paragraph is at the first line of the file, then the whole
paragraph disappears silently. If it's intentional, there should be a warning
or something. And If it's *not* indented (as if it expects message
header lines at this place), then it appears in the message body, so
there is some inconsistency here.
