Actually, I suggest to experiment and practice with mutt (or any mail client) by sending emails back and forth to yourself between two email accounts. Use it to send mail to a friend. etc When using git send-email, use the --dry-run and --suppress-cc=all options to make sure you got everything right before actually sending anything. Then you can practice sending patches to yourself still without bothering mailing list or other authors. One day when you're ready to send a message or a patch to a public mailing list, you can do a similar test by first sending it here (but not CCing everyone else). Look at lore.kernel.org and see if it worked like you expected. Make sure it's formatted correctly in plain text, etc. Final step, send to the real list with all the real CCs and everything. That way you're not making unnecessary test noises for everyone else. Hope that helps. -- Ryan
