Isn't it an option to introduce a new program, say 'git send', that

better implementation and a better default setting?

I would, at some point, like to unify format-patch, send-email, and
possible imap-send. I envision being able to "git format-patch
--email" (and possibly "git format-patch --imap").

I don't have any illusion that writing my own SMTP client in C is much
fun, so I was going to see if it was reasonable to link format-patch
against msmtp. OTOH, I don't want to bloat the git binary, so it may
just be best to have format-patch be able to run msmtp automagically
when it is called with "--email".

Or something. I haven't thought real hard about it yet. :-)
