Most reliable is to just use git send-email :-) The kernel Documentation/email-clients.txt has some tips on how to stop thunderbird mangling patches, but it sounds painful... [quote] By default, thunderbird likes to mangle text, but there are ways to coerce it into being nice. - Under account settings, composition and addressing, uncheck "Compose messages in HTML format". - Edit your Thunderbird config settings to tell it not to wrap lines: user_pref("mailnews.wraplength", 0); - Edit your Thunderbird config settings so that it won't use format=flowed: user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false); - You need to get Thunderbird into preformat mode: . If you compose HTML messages by default, it's not too hard. Just select "Preformat" from the drop-down box just under the subject line. . If you compose in text by default, you have to tell it to compose a new message in HTML (just as a one-off), and then force it from there back to text, else it will wrap lines. To do this, use shift-click on the Write icon to compose to get HTML compose mode, then select "Preformat" from the drop-down box just under the subject line. - Allows use of an external editor: The easiest thing to do with Thunderbird and patches is to use an "external editor" extension and then just use your favorite $EDITOR for reading/merging patches into the body text. To do this, download and install the extension, then add a button for it using View->Toolbars->Customize... and finally just click on it when in the Compose dialog.
