Hi'm wondering how to use this with git send-email. I read the gitcredentials and git-send-email documents but still can't figure it out. Doesn't seem to be documented anywhere really either.

Found one entry on SO https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76117242 but am still confused what I am doing wrong.

[sendemail]
	smtpserver = example.com
	smtpuser = [email protected]
	smtpencryption = ssl
	smtpserverport = 465

[credential "smtp://example.com:465"]
	username = [email protected]
	helper = gopass -o mail/example_email

the issue seems to be that when i type:

git send-email --to="[email protected]" HEAD^

It still comes up with the prompt asking me to authenticate:

Password for 'smtp://[email protected]@example.com:465'

I do have the helper installed in my path:

$ git help -a | grep credential-
   credential-cache        Helper to temporarily store passwords in memory
   credential-store        Helper to store credentials on disk
   credential-gopass

You need to have:

[sendemail]
	smtpserver = example.com
	smtpuser = username <-- only the user name not the domain
	smtpencryption = ssl
	smtpserverport = 465

[credential "smtp://[email protected]:465"]
	helper = gopass

Then in your gopass store it must be in:

.../gopass/stores/root/git/example.com_465/username.gpg

This last part isn't documented anywhere that I can see.

We should probably add this to the readme somewhere.
