Use a good one ;) Here, I use claws-mail, with works fine if configured
to send text-only e-mails and to not break long lines.

Another alternative is to use git to send the email with something like:

	git send-email HEAD~1 --annotate

That requires some setup at the .git/config file:
	https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email

As you use gmail, you could add at the .git/config:

[sendemail]
    smtpEncryption = tls
    smtpServer = smtp.gmail.com
    smtpUser = yourname@gmail.com
    smtpServerPort = 587

No, because it doesn't make easy for people to reply with comments.
