Currently my gitconfig contains the following line:

	sendemail.smtpserveroption=-a<myaccount>

Whereas, the following results in an 'account' not found error:

	sendemail.smtpserveroption=-a <myaccount>

Do you mean that your ~/.gitconfig literally contains that exact line?

Yes that's the exact line in my gitconfig file, which correctly mails using
the non-default account I'm after - I'm assuming you're noticing the lack of
camelCase? To be honest, that came from zsh autosuggestions, which are all
lower-case for some reason.

No, case shouldn't matter.  I'm noticing the it looks like

foo.bar=baz

instead of

[foo]
	bar = baz

(i.e. it seems to be some syntax other than ini syntax).  E.g. I tried

echo a.b=c >test.config
git config -f test.config -l

and get

fatal: bad config line 1 in file test.config

Thanks,

I realized what my issue was when looking closer at the documentation - 
the smtp-server-option needs to be included as separate lines:

[sendemail]
	smtpserveroption = --account
	smtpserveroption = <myaccount>

I'm assuming this is intended behavior.

Thanks for your help,
Chris
