Hi Georgi,

Sometimes when sending lots of changes it is not nice
to send emails as fast as possible. Of course you can
confirm each email after waiting couple of seconds but
this is not optimal. This patch adds --sleep option
to git-send-mail and corresponding sendmail.sleep config
variable to control how much seconds to wait between
sending each email. The default is 0 (not wait at all).
I use git-send-email a lot, and I ask it to print out the list of all
emails once before confirming.  After confirming, I just switch back
to Emacs and continue work- in the many instances, I've never actually
needed to slow the process down.  If anything, I wished it could
concurrently send many emails and do things /faster/ *.   I'm a little
curious about why you want to slow it down- is your SMTP server
configured to block you because it suspects that you're trying to
spam?

Thanks.

* I first need to see if SMTP servers today can take in emails at this
speed without suspecting spam.
