You should install git-email if you're on Debian.
Evidently! Good grief, why is that split off? <grumble>
apt-cache also helps if you don't know the exact name of the
git-send-email file:
Yup, it was more like I did not even imagine that the package had been
split up like that. I thought there must be a licensing problem or
something.
The same happened to me the first time.
I guess it's the way Debian folks do their packaging, breaking
semantically :) every package into smaller packages. As send-email
isn't needed at all for (basic) git usage, it can go into a separate
package.
I like it. It reduces the size of every package, and you have more
control over what you have installed on your system.
Comparing that to the short time that I used Manjaro (Arch-based), where
I had to install full-blown GUI programs just to get a C library...
I did a web search and did not find any reports that NeoMutt does
violence to Git-formatted patches. Perhaps it is GMail's fault? (I
use its SMPTS server to send mail.) Does someone on this list have
experience with this MUA and/or provider? Is there a trick?
I also use gmail, so their servers shouldn't cause any errors, I
guess. But I'm no expert on emailing.
Damn. I really like GPG-signing my outbound mails, especially including
patches. I try to exemplify the audit trails I advocate.
[sendemail]
smtpuser = alx.manpages
smtpserver = smtp.googlemail.com
smtpencryption = tls
smtpserverport = 587
smtpPass = my_password_goes_here
Thanks! Without some NeoMutt help, it looks like this is my route
forward.
If you get it to work while still signing your emails, I'd be interested
in knowing how you have set it up.
:)
Cheers,
Alex
