Currently my gitconfig contains the following line:

Whereas, the following results in an 'account' not found error:

Do you mean that your ~/.gitconfig literally contains that exact line?

Yes that's the exact line in my gitconfig file, which correctly mails using
the non-default account I'm after - I'm assuming you're noticing the lack of
camelCase? To be honest, that came from zsh autosuggestions, which are all
lower-case for some reason.

No, case shouldn't matter.  I'm noticing the it looks like

        foo.bar=baz

instead of

        [foo]
                bar = baz

(i.e. it seems to be some syntax other than ini syntax).  E.g. I tried

        echo a.b=c >test.config
        git config -f test.config -l

and get

        fatal: bad config line 1 in file test.config

Thanks,

Hi Jonathan,



[sendemail]
        smtpserveroption = -a<myaccount>

Sorry for the inconsistency, you're write about the gitconfig syntax. I was actually printing out the config using `git config --local --list`. The actual config file has the two lines:

signature.asc
Description: PGP signature
