Hi Saasha,

A couple of thoughts here. I'm not familiar w your SSL version issue,
maybe google that specifically.

- https://man.archlinux.org/man/git-send-email.1.en  suggests using tls

- And as a work-around, if you have used git format-patch and have the
patch file ready to mail...you can simply do "mutt -H yourpatchname.patch"
When it opens in mutt you can edit the To/Cc if needed.
Send to yourself first to test.
