I think a much more general approach would be to turn your script into "get-msg-id" script and use it like so: $ git format-patch --in-reply-to $(get-msg-id <mboxfile>) a7fe7de8 Then you can reuse that script in a context outside format-patch, whereever you need the message-id in a single message in the mailbox. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
