I do everything above.

But I was told by Bjorn that I was sending emails with funny encoding 
which meant he had to manually apply the patches, which meant more work 
for him. I could not figure out how to make git send-email work with the 
correct encoding. I had to use mutt -H to fix the encoding, doing each 
email separately.

I have no idea why my git send-email is strange.
