------

-GMail does not appear to have any way to turn off line wrapping in the web
-interface, so this will mangle any emails that you send.  You can however
-use "git send-email" and send your patches through the GMail SMTP server, or
-use any IMAP email client to connect to the google IMAP server and forward
-the emails through that.
-
-To use "git send-email" and send your patches through the GMail SMTP server,
-edit ~/.gitconfig to specify your account settings:
-
-[sendemail]
-       smtpencryption = tls
-       smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
-       smtpuser = user@gmail.com
-       smtppass = p4ssw0rd
-       smtpserverport = 587
-
-Once your commits are ready to be sent to the mailing list, run the
-following commands:
-
-  $ git format-patch --cover-letter -M origin/master -o outgoing/
-  $ edit outgoing/0000-*
-  $ git send-email outgoing/*
-
-To submit using the IMAP interface, first, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
-account settings:
-
-[imap]
-       folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
-       host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
-       user = user@gmail.com
-       pass = p4ssw0rd
-       port = 993
-       sslverify = false
-
-You might need to instead use: folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts" if you get an error
-that the "Folder doesn't exist".
-
-Once your commits are ready to be sent to the mailing list, run the
-following commands:
-
-  $ git format-patch --cover-letter -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send
-
-Just make sure to disable line wrapping in the email client (GMail web
-interface will line wrap no matter what, so you need to use a real
-IMAP client).
