It seems that git-send-email is not all it's cracked up to be. I tried
sending a few to myself and saw the same thing. Making the patches
inline by removing the --attach seemed to help. But they never did
come out quite right for me. Out of curiosity, what version of git are
you using? I have 1.4.2.3 here, but I notice in the git mailing list
archives that there is an ongoing battle with git-send-email.
