Well, I simply use git-imap-send to send the patch to my IMAP draft folder and then sent it from my mailer (Gnus/5.13 for Emacs/24.3). What is very weird is that if I simply save the mail I received from LAKML (I am registered to LAKML which I have put in Cc:), checkptach gives me the following (my checkpatch.pl is the one in 3.13.0.rc4): $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl /tmp/v4.patch ERROR: Do not include the paragraph about writing to the Free Software Foundation's mailing address from the sample GPL notice.
