Hi,
I want to send my 2 commits as patches in chain reply to my first email. My first email will have multiple files as attachment. How can I achieve it?
first email subject: [mystring] Feature 01 patch 01: |_ [mystring] [PATCH 01/02] My commit msg 1 patch 02: |_ [mystring] [PATCH 02/02] My commit msg 2
My git send-email is working, but I want to achieve the above desired outcome which I'm unable to.
I have tried so many combinations of git format-patch and send-email over the past days but I'm unable to get the above outcome.
One combination that was close to working: => git format-patch -2 --numbered --start-number 01 -o patch-dir --thread => git send-email --in-reply-to="Message-Id" --to user@gmail.com --chain-reply-to --suppress-cc=self patch-dir/*
I'm trying to see the desired effect in my web gmail, but I do not see.
gmail does not show threading like this, you are going to have to use another mail client that will show the threading properly, to be able to see if you did it correctly or not.
good luck!
@Greg: Thanks for response, that helped partially. Thunderbird shows threaded mails. But chain-reply-to does not seem to work, or may be thunderbird is not showing as expected or my understanding is wrong. In Thunderbird I see as follows:
first email subject: [mystring] Feature 01 patch 01: |_ [mystring] [PATCH 01/02] My commit msg 1 patch 02: |_ [mystring] [PATCH 02/02] My commit msg 2 Both patches are seen as response to first email.
Below is the Mail header when I do chain-reply: Lets say, First Mail: Message-Id => <Message-ABC-1> after git send-email, the header for the patches is as follows: Patch 1: Message-Id => <Message-Git-1> In-Reply-to => <Message-ABC-1> References => <Message-ABC-1> Patch 2: Message-Id => <Message-Git-2> In-Reply-to => <Message-Git-1> References => <Message-ABC-1> <Message-Git-1> * Do the above headers look as expected & correct? If yes, then my thunderbird is not showing properly or my understanding is wrong. * Why in Patch 2 "References" <Message-ABC-1> prepended? (That should not be the case in chaining.. am I right?) Thanks & regards, Pj
