+Send a patch or a range of patches by e-mail using the SMTP server
+specified by the 'stgit.smtpserver' configuration option, or the
+'--smtp-server' command line option. The From address and the e-mail
+format are generated from the template file passed as argument to
+'--template' (defaulting to '.git/patchmail.tmpl' or
+'~/.stgit/templates/patchmail.tmpl' or
+'/usr/share/stgit/templates/patchmail.tmpl'). A patch can be sent as
+attachment using the --attach option in which case the 'mailattch.tmpl'
+template will be used instead of 'patchmail.tmpl'.
+
+The To/Cc/Bcc addresses can either be added to the template file or
+passed via the corresponding command line options. They can be e-mail
+addresses or aliases which are automatically expanded to the values
+stored in the [mail "alias"] section of GIT configuration files.
