I think this statement from me is mid-way through my discovery of the actual issue. Yes, if the mail server is rewriting, the best we can do is put in an artificial sleep. It looks like GitGitGadget just uses normal SMTP to submit the messages. I wonder if normal people using gmail as their SMTP server for send-email also suffer from this. I've not ever noticed it, but I don't know how common that setup is. -Peff
