 Setting up Git to Send Email
 ----------------------------
 
+The ``git send-email`` command can send email by using a local or remote
+Mail Transport Agent (MTA) such as ``msmtp``, ``sendmail``, or
+through a direct SMTP configuration in your Git ``~/.gitconfig`` file.
+
+Here are the settings for letting ``git send-email`` send e-mail through your
+regular STMP server, using a Google Mail account as an example::
+
+   git config --global sendemail.smtpserver smtp.gmail.com
+   git config --global sendemail.smtpserverport 587
+   git config --global sendemail.smtpencryption tls
+   git config --global sendemail.smtpuser ada.lovelace@gmail.com
+   git config --global sendemail.smtppass = XXXXXXXX
+
+These settings will appear in the ``.gitconfig`` file in your home directory.
+
+If you neither can use a local MTA nor SMTP,  make sure you use an email client
+that does not touch the message (turning spaces in tabs, wrapping lines, etc.).
+A good mail client to do so is Pine (or Alpine) or Mutt. For more
+information about suitable clients, see `Email clients info for Linux
+<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/email-clients.html>`__
+in the Linux kernel sources.
+
+If you use such clients, just include the patch in the body of your email.

+Sending Patches via Email
+-------------------------

 Depending on the components changed, you need to submit the email to a
 specific mailing list. For some guidance on which mailing list to use,
