I'm using Evolution 2.24 as my mail client, and I have a wrapper script
"git draft-patch" that runs "git format-patch" and loads the patches
into my Evolution Drafts folder so I can look them over in the composer
and add non-commit-message text below the "---" if I wish before
sending.  I did pass --thread, but the composer changed the Message-Id,
breaking the threading.

I'll try to get this right in the future.  I can see two approaches to
doing so:

1. Check over / edit the patches in a text editor before loading them
into Drafts, and then send them by moving them directly to Outbox
(without using the composer) so that the Message-Id won't change.

2. Send the first patch, then manually edit the Message-Id Evolution
assigned it into the second patch, etc.

Neither of these approaches is particularly nice.  Does anyone have a
better idea?
