Didn't I already tell you not to encourage to run format-patch from send-email all over the place? Just prepare the mail files once, and feed them, perhaps

    ... how to send patches to a mailing list from a set of patch
    files you prepared with `git format-patch`.

    If you want to send a single patch:

	$ git send-email --to="there" 0001-fix-this.patch

    Or more than one

	$ git send-email --to="there" patches/000[1-4]*.patch

etc.
