That looks like a decent recommendation for normal email, but is
inadequate for patches.  You might want to disable line wrapping for
patches.

The output of git send-email *should* be compatible with git am. 
However, the mail that you've sent seems to have some of the fields
mixed up.  I'm not sure if send-email has a format=flowed option, but
if it does, you might want to uncheck it.

Don't forget to add --cc=leo.prikler@student.tugraz.at (or more
generally --cc=<reviewer>) to your invocation of `git send-email`, so
that reviewers, that are not subscribed to the ML (like myself) are
also immediately informed.

I'm personally fine with patches as attachment, but others might not
be.  I'll send one of my own commits as formatted by format-patch as an
attachment to this, so that you can cross-check your own git send-email 
setup.  Especially make sure that the header sequence matches up.

Don't worry too much about it, everyone's a beginner :)
