git send-email does one thing and one thing only - sends stuff via
email. I do not see why it should parse the emails and decide whether to
complete the operation or break based on what is in the emails. It could
warn though however since the cover letter is a product of different
command introducing this logic would tightly couple those which is not
good.

I guess that it is better that people who send stuff acctually care what
they are sending. I mean that pretty quickly you learn to send the
series of patches first to yourself and review before it goes out to the
public.
