to be more precise this is when having this in the ~/.gitconfig:

[user]
name = Vincent Cappe
email = vcappe@gmail.com
[core]
pager = /usr/bin/vim -R -
editor = /usr/bin/vim
[sendemail]
smtpencryption = tls
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpserverport = 587
smtpuser = vcappe
smtppass = obviously_edited_password

If you could figure out what setups these are needed for so I can put something more specific than "git-send-email", that would be good.

According to the git-send-email man page, these are required to use gmail as the smtp server.

Not sure why I don't seem to need these installed to send email (at least the mime dependency), but I'll take your word for it...
