In the documentation on using git-send-email, it was noted that the configuration for sending email can vary based on your operating system and email provider. However, it was not explicitly stated that you will need to set up your SMTP server details in git's configuration file under the 'sendemail' section. This information is critical for users who are new to using git-send-email and may not be familiar with the additional setup required to use their SMTP server. By adding this note to the documentation, the aim is to provide users with a more complete understanding of the configuration process and help them avoid potential roadblocks in setting up git-send-email.
