If you don't have access to something like mutt or thunderbird that can show you threads, then you may have to mail it to yourself and try the 'show original' option and look at the References: header to check that you have the results you'd like to see.

I'm getting PATCH 1/2 instead of PATCH 01/02 Well, one way is to use --subject-prefix="PATCH 01/02" --no-numbered arguments to format-patch. But then you'd have to write a shell loop of some sort to process each patch, instead of having format-patch do that for you. -- Jim _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
