git-send-email not sending?

Hi,

I'm using git version 1.5.4.rc3.37.gfdcf3 and when I use git-send-email with the --compose option like this:

   git send-email --compose -- a_dir_of_patches/

The intro email gets sent, but not any of the actual patches. If I ommit the --compose option, then the patches do get sent. Pretty sure this worked for me until a recent update so I wonder if there's a buglet in the recent validation patches (or I'm in error and missing some needed config?).

+ seth
