Don't be sorry. It can take a bit of time to get used to send-email (and
can be scary at times). And yes, I, too, prefer to first produce the
patches then send them. One advice is to produce them into a different
directory each time, it will save you from accidently sending a mix of
the previous version and the current one, and it will also help you
double-check the differences between the patches to see check if you
missed anything.

OK!
