So I came up with the following\ncommand:\n\ngit-send-email --compose --no-chain-reply-to patch/to/send/*\n\nI then was prompted with:\n\nMessage-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email?\n\nI tried to leave this empty and also input some random strings,\nboth failed me by setting all In-Reply-To: to the same thing.\n\nSo here're two questions:\n\n1. what's the correct command to do so?\n\n2. input in-reply-to manually does not sound like a good idea,\nis there some way I can come up with an automatically\ncreated one?\n\n\n-- \nCheers\n- eric\n"}]}
