Download patch from email.

[Elazar Leibovich]

I use "|".

    $ cd ~/linux-source
    $ mutt
    (select email with patch)
    |git am

Git applies the patch to the current directory

You could of course pipe to a file with "|cat 001-file.patch"

Last note, from gmail, one can use the "show original" menu item, and
save/copy-paste the text from there. git am would understand that.
