Well, not everyone obviously as I don't, so please be careful speaking quantifiers. I apply inline patches with `git am -' by piping messages or attachments to the command directly from my e-mail client (with its `Pipe' command), so I don't care how any message or attachment has been encoded for transport as long as the patch hasn't come out damaged once decoded. I'd expect any sane e-mail client to support a similar command if it were to be used for software development the way we do it, though I realise that regrettably some may not be as capable. Maciej
