git send-email patches are recognized by their X-Mailer header:

  is_git_send_email = mail.get('X-Mailer', '').startswith('git-send-email')

It does mean any diff inlined in an email will be skipped if sent
"manually", even it they actually are from git format-patch. I took some
care to not cull git format-patch files sent as attachments though, so
those should still work with that option enabled.

HTH,
