Well, when using gmail's web interface, when reading a mail, there is this option to show the raw mail text (headers+body) with the 'show original' option. If you do 'save as..' in your browser to save what you get with that, and try to do git-am on that file, it fails because it starts with some whitespace. With this patch git-am works on these files. So, i'm not using mailsplit or any other mail tools at all, just my browser and git. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
