Give title your commits following the project convention
(Documentation/SubmittingPatches:summary-section).

I think these two can share "sendemail:" as their "<area>:" part.

	sendemail: capture errors in an eval {} block
	sendemail: finer-grained SMTP error handling

or something like that, perhaps.

For both patches, the usual way to compose a log message of this
project is to

 - Give an observation on how the current system work in the present
   tense (so no need to say "Currently X is Y", just "X is Y"), and
   discuss what you perceive as a problem in it.

 - Propose a solution (optional---often, problem description
   trivially leads to an obvious solution in reader's minds).

 - Give commands to the codebase to "become like so".

in this order.  I got an impression that at least your 1/2 it was
unclear which part was explaining the state before the patch and
which part was about the state after the patch.

Thanks.
