NACK.

I never use send-email myself. There are even technical issues to my excuse: sometimes I cannot send the mails from my machine. So, this should not be a _replacement_ for `git format-patch -M && send mail manually`, but only an _alternative_.

However, my impression was that many people had problems when first sending patches with send-email. There should be _at least_ a word of caution, that you should test the operation on something different than the Git list first.
