How do you create .mbox files? What > is your workflow when you deal with mails? When I receive patches via mutt, I usually apply them with this: macro index,pager A '<pipe-message>git<space>am<enter>' which will apply in your current directory. For my git folder, I use a hook to always apply to my git repo: folder-hook git macro index,pager A '<pipe-message>cd<space>$HOME/compile/git<space>&&<space>git<space>am<enter>' If there are several patches in a series, I may pull them into an mbox and apply separately: [in mutt] T pattern [or tag message individually, or Esc-T to tag thread] ;C ~/name-of-patch-topic [in another terminal] cd /path/to/repo git am ~/name-of-patch-topic To send one or two patches, I create an mbox and then use mutt to send: git format-patch -s --stdout "$@" >.mbox mutt -f .mbox rm -f .mbox and in my muttrc: macro index,pager b ":set edit_headers=yes<enter><resend-message>:set edit_headers=no<enter>" Hope that helps, -Peff -- 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
