Having said that (and I am not retracting anything I said in the
message I am responding to), I haven't seen this prompt triggering
for me when I use send-email, with or without --in-reply-to option
on the command line.
Admittedly I use a wrapper around "git send-email" to add minimum
set of command line options that are always used (they are --from,
--envelope-sender, and --smtp-server) but I do not think they have
effect on the use of in-reply-to prompt.
What are we doing differently, I wonder?
