The following command creates cover letter and patches as a threads

git format-patch -o /tmp/ --cover-letter -n --thread=shallow commitIDx^..commitIDy

Send cover-letter and patches with mutt -H XXXXX command

Note: Cover letter us optional. If you do not have one, the patches will still
be threaded.

HTH
