This could be because of mutt configuration. There are some additional checks if
you are trying to use mutt with gmail. Search over google or lore old posts to
know more about it. The important aspect is to configure and test mutt well
before you use it for sending out patches.

I have not used "git send-email", so can't help you there. But mutt has worked
very well for me. Ensure you are reading and following the instructions from
this page well: https://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch

Why do you want to do that?
Build a patch file using "git format-patch" and then use "mutt -H" to send the
patch. Both the commands work directly from the command line. If there is a need 
for any additional attachments in support of your patch [configs, logs, trace as
evidence, test outcomes etc], you can attach those from within the "mutt -H"
execution context.

I suggest testing mutt well before you start sending any patches out by sending
the patches to yourself. Do not use any kernel mailing list for testing.

Deepak.
