Not true at all, I use mutt, and vim, and from within vim, import patches directly all the time. Use the ":r" command to read in the patch file to the mail message. > This is why I attach my patches to my email.

The only thing that really bugs me is when I get signed patches, like you send. That requires me to run the message through either a de-mimer program I have, or just hand edit the raw email message. Which is a pain at times, as it stops the flow of importing patches, but so far I've lived with it, as it isn't _that_ annoying :) thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
