[PATCH 0/2] send-email: impose a delay while sending to appease GMail

GMail doesn't sort E-Mail by the "Date" header, but by when the E-Mail was received. As a result patches sent to the git ML and LKML (and friends) show up out of order in GMail.

This series works around that issue by sleeping for 1 second between sending E-Mails.

If you're on the LKML and wondering why you got this, I figured feedback from the other big user (that I know of) of send-email would be helpful.

  send-email: add an option to impose delay sent E-Mails
  send-email: supply a --send-delay=1 by default
