git@ cc'd for justice.

<rants>

  * `git-format-patch --stdout | git-send-email` does not fly,
    files need to be exported first, it's a bit inconvenient

  * git-send-email should really default to --no-chain

  * git-send-email should stop if it cannot find the headers
    it is looking for (esp. Subject), even if I dared to forget --dry-run
    (point in case:  git log -1 mycommit >x.diff; git-send-email x.diff)

</rants>

And now some apology to the mailbomb caused by that program.

To be in the picture, the command issued was:

rm -f 00*; git-format-patch -C -M --stat=72 --summary -p --thread -n origin/symbolic/upstream..HEAD; git-send-email --thread --no-signed-off-by-cc --no-chain --to user2@localhost 00*

   * jengelh@localhost _still_ gets all the mails

</more rants>

Maybe adding --suppress-from would help?

See the --suppress-* family in the git-send-email docs along with the sendemail.suppress* configuration counterparts.
