OK, this is bewildering. I tried a couple of times sending a trivial
patch (the one that makes git-stash show keep quiet when there aren't
any stashes), but it never made it to the list every time I used
git-send-email, yet as soon as I did it as a regular email, i.e.,
starting a new message in mutt, pasting the patch into the body, and
sending it, it worked just fine.

My mail log shows the mails (the one thru git-send-email) went out just
fine.  And it always worked when I tried to use git-send-email to send
the patch to my gmail address. It just doesn't work with the list - and
that obviously can't be. 8-)

I've had similar problems. I think it's actually a filtering issue on the
receiving end though, as some seem to see the mails on the list (while
most don't). Looking at the headers, I see the hostname of my laptop as
originating host when using git-send-email, which obviously will fail
for any receiving host that tries to connect back to verify that the
originating sender is indeed a real SMTP server.

Quite possibly so. What puzzles me is that when I compare the headers
between the one I sent from mutt (which made it to the list) and the one
from send-email (which made it to gmail), I can't find any differences
(other than message ids and timestamps of course).

Ah well...
