I use Thunderbird via IMAP. IMAP is nice because the messages all stay
on the server so if you have a few different machines and OSs you don't
have to worry about keeping things coherent. Sending patches through
TBird usually works, as long as you cut&paste into a 'preformat' block
(available from a pull-down menu). But it's not bulletproof. The only
sure way to send a patch without worrying about line wrapping etc. is to
use git-send-email. You can find instructions online on how to do this
with gmail, IIRC you need to have some sendmail-like relay running on
your Linux box. I don't remember the details and am not at that
computer right now.

cheers,
Ben
