  16DESCRIPTION
  17-----------
  18Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out.
  19
  20The header of the email is configurable by command line options.  If not
  21specified on the command line, the user will be prompted with a ReadLine
  22enabled interface to provide the necessary information.
  23
  24The options available are:
  25
  26  --to
  27        Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated.
  28        Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the
  29        project involved.
  30
  31   --from
  32        Specify the sender of the emails.  This will default to
  33        the value GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, as returned by "git-var -l".
  34        The user will still be prompted to confirm this entry.
  35
  36   --subject
  37        Specify the initial subject of the email thread.
  38
  39   --in-reply-to
  40        Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header.
  41        Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email 
  42        instead of this.
  43        When overriding on the command line, it may be necessary
  44        to set this to a space.  For example
  45                --in-reply-to=" "
  46
  47   --chain-reply-to, --no-chain-reply-to
  48        If this is set, each email will be sent as a reply to the previous
  49        email sent.  If disabled with "--no-chain-reply-to", all emails after
  50        the first will be sent as replies to the first email sent.  When using
  51        this, it is recommended that the first file given be an overview of the
  52        entire patch series.
  53        Default is --chain-reply-to
  54
  55   --smtp-server
  56        If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use.  Defaults to
  57        localhost.
