Yes, ofcourse git send-email was used to send the patch, not any other 
mail client.

Yes i am also aware that send-email converts rb to CC.

But if you keep working on the local branch, then you would have to 
manually add the r-bs. If you use am of the prev version and develop on 
that, it will automatically add the r-bs.
