Ah, and then you use `guix package -f gnu/packages/messaging.scm` to
test the package definition, right? I see, that's cool.

Maybe ;-)

Say you have edited gnu/packages/messaging.scm and you added "my-package"

Then you would do

./pre-inst-env guix build my-package
./pre-inst-env guix lint my-package

you can even install it

./pre-inst-env guix package -i my-package

(AFAICT, there is no `git-send-mail` package for Guix but I wouldn't use
it anyway.)

It's not a standalone package, it's one of the outputs of the git package.

You can see it with this
guix package --list-available | grep send-email

Right, Ricardo ?
