I would, at some point, like to unify format-patch, send-email, and possible imap-send. I envision being able to "git format-patch --email" (and possibly "git format-patch --imap").

I don't have any illusion that writing my own SMTP client in C is much fun, so I was going to see if it was reasonable to link format-patch against msmtp. OTOH, I don't want to bloat the git binary, so it may just be best to have format-patch be able to run msmtp automagically when it is called with "--email".

Or something. I haven't thought real hard about it yet. :-)
