sending patch revisions w mutt ???

[Alison Schofield]

Looking for help threading my patch revisions in mutt.

I use the mutt -H option to send the original and now I want to send v2 threaded.  

I can open mutt, goto thread, select reply, and then read (:r) in the patch
file with vim.  This also means I edit the Subject line manually. None of this is very elegant. 

Is there a better way?

Also, do you want it threaded right on top, ie. in reply to the previous
patch message.

Thanks,
alison

For sending patch I always use git send-email. mutt is only for replying
to mails.
for sending v2 threaded you can use --in-reply-to option of git
send-email.

Thanks Sudip!  I used git send-email today. (I still hold out hope of
finding mutt instructs too)

For a patch series, send a whole new series, it's easier for me to
figure out.

As for using mutt, it will work, you can just go to the email and do a
'reply all' and hand-edit the header like you are doing, which works
well, I do that all the time for "small" patch series.  It's whatever
you get comfortable with.
