git-send-email is a Perl script, so it might not be too difficult to debug.

v2.39.5 is quite recent (May 2024) and it looks like there were
send-email changes in it compared to v2.39.4, so it's possible that
your machine was upgraded from v2.39.4 to v2.39.5 recently and that
those changes broke send-email for you.

Maybe you could try to downgrade to v2.39.4 or v2.39.0 just to check
if send-email works better.

Best,
Christian.
