The last "increment by 10" is logically tied to the last string being
checked happens to be "\nSubject: ", so I would prefer to have the
"increment count" be done after that.  That way you will keep logically
close things physically close together.

As "git help imap-send" clearly says that this command is intended to be
used on output from format-patch (but it actually does not say "and
nothing else", which it should for your patch to make sense), I think the
code is allowed to assume _some_ fixed order of the header fields.  It
would break people's existing abuse to use imap-send to stuff random
pieces of messages in mbox to their IMAP server, though.

But does format-patch _always_ start each message with these and only with
these fields in this order?  Where would Message-Id:, References:, and Cc:
come when the user told format-patch to add them?
