Please do not do that. Would you like to receive patches out of order, not threaded, and all mixed up in the middle of hundreds of other patches? How would you be able to figure it out? Please consider that someone has to read what you send out :) > So, please suggest me some better way, considering I am using mutt. You can use mutt for that, but you need to know what you are doing and how to thread emails with it. It's not simple, so please just use git send-email for now until you learn mutt better. good luck! greg k-h
