can git send-email send diff patch of html format?

I am using git send-email to email patch but i wanted to send the colour diff so I converted diff.patch file to colour_diff.html using ansi2HTML converter plugin in python but it saves file to html , so I am trying to send this html file now but when I try to send I get this error message

Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 568.

fatal: failed to stat

is their any way to get this to work or do I have to use smtplib module to email html diff patch ?

Solution

  • So I ended up writing my own tool to send git diff by email. I cannot post the whole code here since its too lengthy .
