I use git-send-email these days, and it already supports this with the --no-chain-reply-to option. I'll consider using it next time, if at least one more person complains about this :) > PATCH 0/n: intro/summary > |_ PATCH 1/n: desc1 > |_ PATCH 2/n: desc2 > |_ PATCH 3/n: desc3 > > should imply a patch order also, shouldn't it?

Yeah, you are right that things are now numbered, so it might be better (my old send_lots_of_email.pl script didn't number things very well, if at all from what I remember). But odds are, I'll still get complaints. But hey, it looks like people will complain either way :) thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
