With the kernel maintainers head hidden for a moment - the attachments certainly were ok, I was able to feed them to patch and had no problems applying them. With the kernel maintainers hat firmly back on the head: o git will use the Subject: line followed by the body followed by the attachment's leading comment as the commit message for the patch. Anything after a "---" tearoff line such a signature will be dropped. For the submitter that means to ensure only things that are meant to go into the log should be before the tearoff line. o As the result of this method git will only be able to handle a single patch per email. But that's not a problem anyway. Patches are meant to be easily discussable by email and that's best done with a single patch per mail. I'm going to send comments on the actual patch by separate email. Ralf
