That'd be cleaner to use

git config --path sendemail.aliasesfile

to let Git do the right expansion, in a way consistant with other places
of Git.

This means to expand it at 'git config' time?

Yes, but not the "git config" ran to set the value. The one ran
internally by "git send-email" through Git::config(). You may add --get
to my command line above.

Wouldn't it be nicer to have it expanded when you run 'git
send-email'? Then you could move your ~/.gitconfig (that's where I
have my aliasesfile configured) between different accounts and it
could still work.

That works with my proposal.
