Does this mean there's no way to run send-email non-interactively without a reply-to?

I do want to get the prompt even though I want to set the sender field in my ~/.gitconfig, but I wouldn't want the prompt to appear in the cron job I run every nights to send me new patches in some repo for example (a change in git-send-email already broke it in the past, that's a rather anoying failure).

You probably want an option to enable/disable prompting. I'm not sure whether it should be opt-in or opt-out.
