Hi Konstantin,

Not sure if you are taking feature requests, but it would be great if the magic that happens after sending patches via "b4 send" could happen on demand.

The reason is I am using OAuth2 when authenticating to Gmail to send/receive mail, and b4 does not support it, so I tried using "b4 send -o ..." followed by "git send-email ..." (and I was able to set up git send-email to work with OAuth2 tokens), but in this case the magic does not happen.

Thanks.

Yes, this sounds reasonable -- I will add that in.

This feature is now in master as:

    b4 prep --manual-reroll COVER_MSGID

It requires that you look up the message-id of the cover letter so we can retrieve the body and use it in the tag (for RESEND purposes).
