15) Explicit In-Reply-To headers
--------------------------------
15) Sending "git pull" requests
It can be helpful to manually add In-Reply-To: headers to a patch
(e.g., when using "git send email") to associate the patch with
previous relevant discussion, e.g. to link a bug fix to the email with
the bug report. However, for a multi-patch series, it is generally
best to avoid using In-Reply-To: to link to older versions of the
series. This way multiple versions of the patch don't become an
unmanageable forest of references in email clients. If a link is
helpful, you can use the https://lkml.kernel.org/ redirector (e.g., in
the cover email text) to link to an earlier version of the patch series.

(a)ttach works fine without "set paste".
You can also generate patches with 'git format-patch' and then use Mutt
to send them:
$ mutt -H 0001-some-bug-fix.patch
Config options:
It should work with default settings.
However, it's a good idea to set the "send_charset" to:
set send_charset="us-ascii:utf-8"
Mutt is highly customizable. Here is a minimum configuration to start
using Mutt to send patches through Gmail:
# .muttrc
# ================ IMAP ====================
set imap_user = 'yourusername@gmail.com'
set imap_pass = 'yourpassword'
set spoolfile = imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX
set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com/
set record="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts"
set mbox="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail"
# ================ SMTP ====================
set smtp_url = "smtp://username@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
set smtp_pass = $imap_pass
set ssl_force_tls = yes # Require encrypted connection
# ================ Composition ====================
set editor = `echo \$EDITOR`
set edit_headers = yes # See the headers when editing
set charset = UTF-8 # value of $LANG; also fallback for send_charset
# Sender, email address, and sign-off line must match
unset use_domain # because joe@localhost is just embarrassing
set realname = "YOUR NAME"
set from = "username@gmail.com"
set use_from = yes
