Two problems here.

 - "git send-email --xmailer" would _ADD_, not prevent adding, the
   header, regardless of the value of sendemail.xmailer.

 - It is unspecified what happens when you do not have
   sendemail.xmailer and do not give the --xmailer option.

Perhaps

--xmailer::
--no-xmailer::

	By default, `git send-email` adds an "X-Mailer:" header to
        the message to identify the version of itself.  The
        `--no-xmailer` option can be used to turn this off (setting
        the `sendemail.xmailer` configuration to false has the same
        effect).  The `--xmailer` option from the command line is
        useful to countermand `sendemail.xmailer` that is set to
        `false`.

or something?

The same confusion exists here.  "Don't ... default on" hints that
by default we won't see "X-mailer:" which is not true.

A way to avoid confusion is to describe what the option is about for
the positive variant, just like it is done for "--[no-]annotate"
option below.
