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. > > No input on this?

If that doesn't work then I'll give Julian's mail-commits a whirl. Thanks for replying Christian! -- Thell
