Actually if (as apparently many people seem to manage to do) you have a single starting email, with all the patches as replies to that first email, it looks a lot better, and is much easier to follow. Seperate threads would be bad. foobar patch 0 (usually a summary/overview) +-foobar patch 1 +-foobar patch 2 +-foobar patch 3 +-foobar patch 4 +-foobar patch 5 is much nicer than foobar patch 0 +-foobar patch 1 +-foobar patch 2 +-foobar patch 3 +-foobar patch 4 +-foobar patch 5 which seems to be what git does itself. -- Len Sorensen
