Instead of just a toggle, we could make the new option a tristate: - `nil`: Only displays the buffer to compose the email (what is proposed in this bug report). - `help`: Displays instructions on how to send the patch (current behavior). - `patch`: Displays the patch that you want to submit in the split window. Perhaps this adds useful enough functionality that adding a new configuration option feels more justified.
