Subject: [PATCH] send-email: clear the $message_id after validation

From: Junio C Hamano <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 14:10:39 -0700

Recently git-send-email started parsing the same message twice, once
to validate _all_ the message before sending even the first one, and
then after the validation hook is happy and each message gets sent,
to read the contents to find out where to send to etc.

Unfortunately, the effect of reading the messages for validation
lingered even after the validation is done.  Namely $message_id gets
assigned if exists in the input files but the variable is global,
and it is not cleared before pre_process_file runs.  This causes
reading a message without a message-id followed by reading a message
with a message-id to misbehave---the sub reports as if the message
had the same id as the previously written one.

Clear the variable before starting to read the headers in
pre_process_file.

 * This time with a minimum test.  I eyeballed what variables are
   assigned in pre_process_file and it _appears_ to me that most of
   them are cleared in the function before it processes one file
   (except for $message_num that gets incremented per invocation for
   obvious reasons---and it does get reset to 0 before the real loop
   calls the function before sending each message).  So $message_id
   may indeed be the only one that needs fixing.

   But that can hardly qualify as an exhaustive verification X-<.
