I use git-send-email to first send the patch to myself.
When it shows up in thunderbird, I Right-click and select "Edit As New..."
Add my text, update the recipients, and voila.
If you're replying to a previous message, you can get the Message-ID to
supply to git-send-email by selecting View->Headers->All. Copy&Paste
everything between the angle brackets.
I have these options set in Edit->Preferences:
Display->Formatting->Display emoticons as graphics: unchecked, it turns
HEAD^2 into HEAD squared
Composition->General->Wrap plain text messages at 0 characters
^
I also have mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed => false as suggested in
SubmittingPatches. There is a different suggestion in that document
you may want to read.
