git-send-email seems to strip out my custom headers. git-format-patch says it can do this: CONFIGURATION You can specify extra mail header lines to be added to each message in the repository configuration as follows: headers = "Organization: git-foo\n" So I have this: $ cat .git/config [format] headers = Reply-To: Len Brown <lenb@xxxxxxxxxx>\nOrganization: Intel Open Source Technology Center\n $ git-format-patch -o foo -n --thread master..lenb seems to correctly pick up the headers: $ cat foo/0001-test-create-junk.txt >From 6706b39a213064d00af0ec58a159b71b0719a3b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Message-Id: <6706b39a213064d00af0ec58a159b71b0719a3b4.1159941986.git.len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: Len Brown <lenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Organization: Intel Open Source Technology Center Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 01:11:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/14] test: create junk Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> --- junk | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/junk b/junk new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9ecf3cf --- /dev/null +++ b/junk @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +this -- 1.4.2.3.g128e $ git-send-email --no-chain-reply-to --compose --to lenb@xxxxxxxxxx --smtp-server smpt.comcast.net --suppress-from foo and i receive a message w/o the Organization and Reply-to headers: $ cat ~/Documents/test.e-mail-received >From len.brown@xxxxxxxxx Wed Oct 4 12:34:51 2006 Return-Path: <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> Received: from alnrmhc12.comcast.net (alnrmhc12.comcast.net [206.18.177.52]) by hera.kernel.org (8.13.7/8.13.7) with ESMTP id k94GVifO030722 for <lenb@xxxxxxxxxx>; Wed, 4 Oct 2006 16:32:17 GMT Received: from localhost.localdomain (c-65-96-213-102.hsd1.ma.comcast.net[65.96.213.102]) by comcast.net (alnrmhc12) with SMTP id <20061004163139b1200eq2t6e>; Wed, 4 Oct 2006 16:31:39 +0000 From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> To: lenb@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH 1/14] test: create junk Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 12:34:51 -0400 Message-Id: <11599796921715-git-send-email-len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.4.2.3.g128e In-Reply-To: <11599796913223-git-send-email-len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> References: <11599796913223-git-send-email-len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.88.4/1997/Wed Oct 4 15:20:43 2006 on hera.kernel.org X-Virus-Status: Clean X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.1 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00, FORGED_RCVD_HELO autolearn=ham version=3.1.3 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.3 (2006-06-01) on hera.kernel.org Status: R X-Status: NGC X-KMail-EncryptionState: X-KMail-SignatureState: X-KMail-MDN-Sent: Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> --- junk | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/junk b/junk new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9ecf3cf --- /dev/null +++ b/junk @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +this -- 1.4.2.3.g128e Same thing happens if I use the SMTP server inside Intel. I haven't figured out how to send directly via kernel.org using this command kmail uses a password and ssh to talk to kernel.org.
