I already received one of these for that little USB patch. It would be nice if you could make the ACK email threaded to the original patch email. > I'm doing this as I had been generating those "applied, thanks" emails > by hand, and have been getting tired of them, and I know that some > people were getting annoyed by this type of message (so much so that > they generated procmail filters to keep from having to see them.) > > This new method should also be easier for me to apply more patches > faster, which is always a good thing. > > And yes, sometimes these messages will escape and hit the mailing list > due to me forgetting to filter out that email address.
