In #775, @AdityaGarg8 suggested:

We could talk about the recent development in send-email which added support for OAuth2 authentication.
(Assuming I understood what this rev is meant for correctly. Otherwise feel free to ignore it ;) )

It all started with a 2 years old patch which was not reviewed, and I resubmitted it. I additionally added support for Microsoft Outlook message ID threading. This lead to a crazy ride where I worked with the maintainer of perl Authen::SASL to add support for OAuth2.0, rather than send email, added support for Outlook in send email and finally made some nice credential helpers for these new methods for send email.

I think outlook users like me who were struggling a lot with send email will benefit from this development.

This edition could be a bit special as it was in July 2005, so 20 years ago that Junio became the Git maintainer. Not sure what we could do to celebrate that. Ideas welcome!
