Thunderbird works great in many areas, but my experience with patches are poor. It often does some odd mangling with line lengths and other things. I've even heard rumours of Linux kernel developers rejecting patches when Thunderbird is the MUA, as it will "always" be wrong (but that's 5-6 years ago, might have improved). And in particular if you use Enigmail with inline signatures, then enigmail makes a really big mess. It will do a select-all -> reformat -> copy -> send clipboard to gpg -> gpg result to clipboard -> paste. What is less worse is to use PGP/MIME ... which I had to do for all these ML discussions, as it even messed up the '>' blocks completely and other git log messages when replying. As others have said already ... For patches, configure git send-email, it is fairly simple and you won't have so much complaints from us :) -- kind regards, David Sommerseth
