Here are some hints on how to successfully submit patches inline using Thunderbird. This recipe appears to work with the current [*1*] Thunderbird from Suse. The following Thunderbird extensions are needed: AboutConfig 0.5 http://aboutconfig.mozdev.org/ External Editor 0.5.4 http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/exteditor 1) Prepare the patch as a text file using your method of choice. 2) Before opening a compose window, use Edit->Account Settings to uncheck the "Compose messages in HTML format" setting in the "Composition & Addressing" panel of the account to be used to send the patch. [*2*] 3) In the main Thunderbird window, _before_ you open the compose window for the patch, use Tools->about:config to set the following to the indicated values: mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed => false mailnews.wraplength => 999 4) Open a compose window and click the external editor icon. 5) In the external editor window, read in the patch file and exit the editor normally. 6) Back in the compose window: Add whatever other text you wish to the message, complete the addressing and subject fields, and press send. 7) Optionally, undo the about:config/account settings changes made in steps 2 & 3. [Footnotes] *1* Version 1.0 (20041207) from the MozillaThunderbird-1.0-5 rpm of Suse 9.3 professional updates. *2* It may be possible to do this with about:config and the following settings but I haven't tried, yet. mail.html_compose => false mail.identity.default.compose_html => false mail.identity.id?.compose_html => false - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
