Maybe someone in that situation should make an new "git > imap-am" command? Kind of the reverse to imap-send. Just a thought. =) Well, if they can't do imap (because of a firewall) git can't do imap... I guess for them (webmail users) it would be better if we attached patches, but we don't do that here. In any case, our list is mirrored on gmane, and you can use the interface there. For example, you get the first message in this thread using the gmane id or the message id like this: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/125591 http://mid.gmane.org/2729632a0908111343v73fa475fqb6353dcf2f718101@mail.gmail.com If you add /raw to those URLs you get the original message so that you can happily wget/curl/browse and save away.
