Subject: Using thunderbird to post/apply patches?
Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 12:21:24 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46a038f90802071521n674b61c2t5e4d4c740375b951@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Is there anyone using thunderbird/mozilla to post patches with
additional email commentary like Junio and Linus do? Are there good
tricks for this? Or otherwise a similar MUA that does things right?

The 2 workflows I am after are...

 - Load up a patch created with git-format-patch into my email editor
to add some commentary before sending. Should not munge the patch
itself!

 - Feed an email I am reading to git-apply-mbox so that if it's
reasonably formatted as a patch it will do the right thing and apply
it.

cheers,



m
