Actually, this is the part of GregKH's script which I hate ;) 50 patches sent this way produce an enormous email thread; if someone then tries to comment on a 40th patch, this part of the thread ends up far behind the right edge of the message list window in almost any mail client (and if someone comments on the first patch, the comments are far from that patch). Sending a [PATCH 0/N] message with the overall description of the patchset and then all patches as replies to that message looks much better in that respect. However, missing messages in this form are less obvious. --Signature=_Sun__31_Jul_2005_14_50_55_+0400_V7pdTeP_7=5OOXff Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC7K0SW82GfkQfsqIRAn57AKCTXTitlV2H2tTWBoFY0uhA8SDFGgCgkLIh m4QXu7AVkwmrXyrGO5wr8wc= =XEv+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Sun__31_Jul_2005_14_50_55_+0400_V7pdTeP_7=5OOXff--
