It's not the way we do things here, and I explained why. git has an
equally easy (arguably easier since it doesn't require the git command
to invoke your mail tools) way to do patches as attachments.

    git format-patch -4

will produce files 0001-...patch, 0002-...patch, 0003-...patch,
0004-...patch for the last 4 commits (replace 4 with whatever number
you need) which can then be attached via whatever method you normally
use in your mail software.
