That's exactly what I do too - the exact same commands. I don't know what magical options other people use but that's how it always comes out for me. I usually manually copy&paste the subject back down into the body - but this time I forgot. Regardless, that was a bona fide git format-patch AND git send-email E-Mail.

On the other hand, Linux people also told me about my git format-patch settings being "wrong" - and indeed they are different than the ones I use to submit to Guix.

What are the settings you use / we should use?

Mine are:
 
$ git config --global -l |grep ^format
format.subjectprefix=FIXME
format.numbered=auto
format.signoff=false
format.coverletter=auto
format.signature=
format.attach=

And the git-format-patch executable is built from GuixSD svn master hydra from a few days ago...
