Wow, I don't know how I missed that when I read the manual. That was
exactly the feature I was thinking that mutt would need. ;)

So yeah, that is obviously better than the "postponed" hackery I showed.
I notice that "-H" even causes mutt to ignore "-i" (a sendmail flag that
Git adds to sendemail.sendmailcmd). So you can just invoke it directly
from your config like:

  git config sendemail.sendmailcmd "mutt -H -"

Annoyingly, "-E" doesn't work when reading over stdin (I guess mutt
isn't willing to re-open the tty itself). But if you're happy with not
editing as they go through, then "-H" is then that's enough (in my
workflow, I do the final proofread via mutt).
