Please don't answer "y" when git send email shows the following prompt:
"Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email?"
you should respond with a message ID there. Unfortunately we have a growing thread that contains submissions with this mistake.
Anyone willing to patch upstream 'git send-email' to reject a simple 'y' rather than blindly sending a bad messageID for the in-reply-to field, to help future users avoid this mistake? Obviously, it won't help until the patch eventually percolates into distros, so it would be a few more months before we see the benefits, but down the road it will prevent confusing threads. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
