I have been using Mutt this entire time with the idea of being able to use
Mutt for both sending the patch and replying to emails, but I am still
fumbling around with this (as you can see). I used git format-patch HEAD^
and I think I additionally bungled something when using Mutt. I will try
git send-email instead since it seems less error prone on my end.

Ah, it happens I guess. 99 little bugs in the code, 99 litle bugs. Take
one down, patch it around, 117 little bugs in the code. ;)

Ah, I was wondering what the best way is to reference old commits.
Thank you, will do!

I definitely do want to learn how to do this myself, but thank you for the
offer! I just hope I am not taking up too much of your and others time with
me bumbling around like this.
