Specifying Reply-To header in patches email using git-send-email?

[Frédéric Delanoy]

I've tried for some time to specify the wine-devel Reply-To using
git-send-email, with little success so far
Any idea how this might be done?

Here's how my git config looks like:
[sendemail]
<smtp server config>
from = user <email>
to = wine-patches <wine-patches(a)winehq.org>
assume8bitEncoding = UTF-8

suppresscc = self
chainreplyto = false
thread = false
suppressfrom = true

[format]
         headers = "To: wine-patches 
<wine-patches(a)winehq.org>\nReply-To: wine-devel <wine-devel(a)winehq.org>\n"

This is used for git imap-send, and does not work for git-send-email
(I checked).
Following the relevant git send-email section
(http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine#head-f09f3498e5910648468960a60ecf0f51b0fd4815
- Sending the patches using smtp), I set "thread" to true, but this
doesn't change anything/has nothing to do with the "Reply-To" header,
rather the "In-Reply-To" header.

I'm using git 1.7.2.1

I attached the script I use to send patches to wine + my .git/config file
The only drawback is that the "wine-patches <>" is added twice.
But it works for me.

As the name of the section suggests, this adds header lines to files
generated with `git format-patch'. If you then send those files with
`git send-email', it should work. If you `git send-email' files
generated before configuring that, then it wouldn't have any effect.

Initially I thought the mailing list software was configured to add
the Reply-To header automagically, guess I was wrong.

OK.
By using
[format]
       headers = "Reply-To: wine-devel <wine-devel(a)winehq.org>\n"
[sendemail]
    to = wine-patches <wine-patches(a)winehq.org>

I manage to get fully automated sending (yeah!).

OTOH, using
 headers = "wine-patches <wine-patches(a)winehq.org>\nReply-To:
wine-devel <wine-devel(a)winehq.org>\n"
doesn't work since you're asked to provide the "To:" and you end up
with two different "To" headers.

I'll update the wiki.

Thanks guys for your help.
