If you save the whole message (rather than doing some copy&paste job on
the mail client window) that should not be an issue in the first place.
The mail message would not apply - possibly because I had to go
Windows text->unicode->Ubuntu box.
No. You should _not_ go "through" anything. You should just save the
whole message as a file (using Ctrl-S or whatever is used for that, or
using some "save to mailbox file" or whatever else is available)
unchanged including all headers, and run git am on this file without any
conversion. It will pick up everything it needs.
I read and write mail on a Windows box. I run git-cl on an Ubuntu box. I
therefore have to take the mail message in Windows and save it to a text
file. The default text file format used by my mail client is not recognised
ob my Ubuntu box as text, so I have to convert it. I then need to copy it
over to my Ubuntu box, at which time it would not apply.
Also note that the client saves only the text in the message, not headers -
so copying and pasting and saving as are identical on my machine.
So I grabbed it from Rietveld and it applied.
