I hope it is satisfactory Hopefully. What GGG sent with v2 label still was a 2-patch series, whose [2/2] patch was an empty patch, though. > I wanted to ask, Is it possible to send the patches created using > `git format-patch` manually using gmail, Or the default headers > applied by `send-email` required. I do not know where you are using gmail from (I know that Android version has no way to send text-only e-mail for example), but when cutting and pasting the output from format-patch, you should make sure * Remove "From Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001" marker line that signals the beginning of each patch message. It is a mistake to leave this line in the body of your message. * Remove "Date: " header. Do not leave this line in the body of your message. * Remove "Subject: " header and move its contents to your MUA's Subject entry field. * Remove "From: " header, and arrange that your MUA puts the same "Sanchit Jindal on the From header. If your MUA is not cooperating, you can leave that line in the body of the message * Your cut&paste does not corrupt whitespaces, like squashing two consecutive spaces into one, removing the leading whitespaces, turning a tab into a run of spaces, folding a line at a whitespace in the middle of the message, etc. * Your MUA does not turn your text message into HTML gunk. As long as you do the above carefully, you should be OK. "git format-patch --help" has a section on MUA specific hints, which also might be helpful. Thanks.
