I almost always use git-format-patch to generate patches (some people
use git-show or git-diff for proof-of-concept patches), and either use
git-send-email (I have sendmail configured to send mails via GMail,
but my computer is single-user machine; you can try sendemail.smpt*
options instead, if you have appropriate Perl modules installed), or
use KMail: Message > Insert file, ensuring that in Options I have Word
wrapping turned off.

In some rare case I used 'stg mail' (also via properly configured
sendmail).
