Okay, a fairly big change landed in master that completely does away with "C"
and inline comments. You now just hit "r" to reply and add your comments just
like you would to any other message -- benefiting from your existing mastery
of your preferred editor.

We also ship vim and emacs syntax files in misc/ -- they make it easier to
reply to diffs than regular email syntax styling.

Please try it out again. Your old bugs should be gone and replaced by whole
new bugs!

Best regards,
