Yes, I did.  They all showed up under the correct thread, but then I 
changed how I did it by adding cover-letter to the format-patch options.  

BTW - After looking at the headers it looks like the cover letter header 
worked just fine, but that the cover letter msg-id changed between when 
format-patch created it and when it was sent out causing the reset of the 
msgs to not have anything to reference to.

I guess I'll setup smtp and try the send-email route, not sure if that 
is going to change anything having to do with the In-Reply-To field 
and a cover letter or how it shows in the threading.

If that doesn't work then I'll give Julian's mail-commits a whirl.

Thanks for replying Christian!
