A difference I see between us is that I just use git send-email "path to patch file".

I have the sendemail git commands set up in my .gitconfig file.

What I notice is that the default behaviour of git send-email is to take any email addresses it finds in the commit message and adds them to the cc list removing any duplicates.

As I am listed in the Signed-by line then I end up in the From and CC list. Therefore I get an email with each patch I submit.
This cc mail is separate from the dev list mail that the patch is sent to. I have never received an email via the mail list manager.

I know this because when there was the problem that the old mail list manager was not running for a while, I received emails for each patch I sent, via the IPFire mail server system and my cc email address, but none of the patches got into the mailing list archive or patchwork, until the mail list manager software was restarted.

So it might be that we have different .gitconfig settings and different command line options for git send-email, mine being just what the default is set to in Arch Linux.

Regards,

Adolf.
