I save a copy of the message I am replying to (usually my cover letter,
which I generated by just replying in my MUA) into a well-known location
(I use a mutt hot-key to do this), and then run it through this
monstrosity:
get_reply_headers() {
perl -ne '
if (defined $opt && /^\s+(.*)/) {
$val .= " $1";
next;
}
if (defined $opt) {
print "--$opt=", quotemeta($val), " ";
$opt = $val = undef;
}
if (/^(cc|to):\s*(.*)/i) {
$opt = lc($1);
$val = $2;
}
elsif (/^message-id:\s*(.*)/i) {
$opt = "in-reply-to";
$val = $1;
}
'
}
which can be used on the command line of format-patch or send-email, like:
eval "git format-patch $(get_reply_headers <your-patch-file)"
I put the result in an mbox, then review and send it out in mutt (using
the resend-message command), but you could invoke send-email directly,
or format-patch into a file for review and send it with send-email.
