Didn't know about [alias]. It is indeed confusing to have [aliases] as well. > Perhaps > > [mail "alias"] > lkml = linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org The other option would be to teach stgit to parse alias files used by mutt etc. as Eric mentioned in the other e-mail (and it doesn't look difficult). The problem is that you would need to know how to generate them manually if you use other e-mail clients or web-based services. > if we are going to have other mail-related configurations that > might turn out be handy. send-email would want smtp-server in > there, for example. At a quick look, it seems that git-send-email already uses a [sendemail] section. StGIT currently reads the smtpserver and authentication information from the [stgit] section. --
