hard for people review. Instead, you should use git send-email. There's

an example there (at least on git version 1.7.8) showing how to set it for
Google:

$ git help send-email

EXAMPLE
Use gmail as the smtp server
To use git send-email to send your patches through the GMail SMTP
server, edit ~/.gitconfig to specify your
account settings:

[sendemail]
smtpencryption = tls
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpuser = yourn...@gmail.com
smtpserverport = 587

Once your commits are ready to be sent to the mailing list, run the
following commands:

$ git format-patch --cover-letter -M origin/master -o outgoing/
$ edit outgoing/0000-*
$ git send-email outgoing/*

I have SMTP which requires login over SSL. I am not sure if Git send-email 
event supports that

It does.

but even if it supports I don't like idea to put my clear text password to some 
config file.

You could then write a small script:

        #!/bin/bash
        echo -n Password:
        read
        git send-email --smtp-pass $REPLY

This would avoid storing your password at the bash history or at a config file.

That's why I have used Thunderbird with External Editor and it sucks :/

git send-email will likely work a way better than that.
