However, it's a good idea to set the "send_charset" to:
set send_charset="us-ascii:utf-8"
+Mutt is highly customizable. Here is a minimum configuration to start
+using Mutt to send patches through Gmail:
+
+# .muttrc
+# ================ IMAP ====================
+set imap_user = 'yourusername@gmail.com'
+set imap_pass = 'yourpassword'
+set spoolfile = imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX
+set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com/
+set record="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
+set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts"
+set mbox="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail"
+
+# ================ SMTP ====================
+set smtp_url = "smtp://username@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
+set smtp_pass = $imap_pass
+set ssl_force_tls = yes # Require encrypted connection
+
+# ================ Composition ====================
+set editor = `echo \$EDITOR`
+set edit_headers = yes # See the headers when editing
+set charset = UTF-8 # value of $LANG; also fallback for send_charset
+# Sender, email address, and sign-off line must match
+unset use_domain # because joe@localhost is just embarrassing
