Hi, I am following some kernel mailing lists (netdev and others). I want to be able to save recent patches and to apply the against a git tree.

I tried using MUTT client for this. I save the patch (which is almost always inline).

Try the following, it worked for me: - "tag" the patchset and "tag-save" or "tag-copy" it into one file - run: git am patchset.name BTW, everyone working with git should try StGit ("stacked git"), it's quite a useful tool. HTH, Jonathan Neuschäfer
