27 | --bcc:: |
28 | Specify a "Bcc:" value for each email. | |
5ef1f8d4 SV |
29 | + |
30 | The --bcc option must be repeated for each user you want on the bcc list. | |

32 | --cc:: |
33 | Specify a starting "Cc:" value for each email. | |

2718435b RA |
37 | --chain-reply-to, --no-chain-reply-to:: |
38 | If this is set, each email will be sent as a reply to the previous | |
39 | email sent. If disabled with "--no-chain-reply-to", all emails after | |
40 | the first will be sent as replies to the first email sent. When using | |
41 | this, it is recommended that the first file given be an overview of the | |
42 | entire patch series. | |
43 | Default is --chain-reply-to | |
44 | ||
45 | --compose:: | |
46 | Use $EDITOR to edit an introductory message for the | |
47 | patch series. | |

50 | Specify the sender of the emails. This will default to |

df8baa42 | 54 | --in-reply-to:: |

55 | Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header. |
56 | Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email | |
f9e320c3 RA |

9c572b21 SV |

89 | project involved. | |
