It sounds like you are doing too much work.

After I make a series of commits I run format-patch.  This example has 2
patches (-2).  I like --thread, although it seems to work fine without
it.  And --reroll-count will automatically do your N/M numbering for
you.  It also generates a cover letter which you can then edit by hand.
All the patches will be named v3-* in this case.

  git format-patch --reroll-count=3 --cover --thread -2

Then I can send the whole patch series using send-email.

  git send-email --to=caleb --cc=git --cc=junio v3-*

Felipe Contreras has a good writeup [1] on how to setup aliases with Mutt so
you don't have to type the full email every time.

I recently setup Mutt with Offlineimap [2] and Msmtp.  This is an
awesome setup too.  Not patch related, but it makes the email part
easier.
