I remember having problems when sending a patch using `git --send-email`
which was due to `perl-authen-sasl` (that's what it's called in pacman
on archlinux, not sure what it would be called on your system) package
not being installed. Git send-email relies on that package being there,
but for some reason might not have it as a dependency. Try checking if
you have it.
Also, is there any error message, when `git --send-email` exits, that
you could provide?
