The mailinfo program has been enhanced to grok\nDate: in the top part of the message body just like From: in the\nmessage body can override the sender of the e-mail.\n\nThe third one is an extra.  It lets me export patches in a\nformat resembling UNIX mbox, so I can concatenate the output\ntogether and reprocess them through applymbox.\n\nAfter they are accepted, I will forward these trivially correct\npatches I saw on the list, using the enhanced format-patch; they\nare expected to be processed with the new applymbox as a\npractice; by doing this I am also ACKing these patches:\n\n  [PATCH] debian/ fixes\n  [PATCH] Fix a typo in git-unpack-objects documentation.\n  [PATCH] Cleanup: git-verify-tag-script\n  [PATCH] Install git-verify-tag-script\n  [PATCH] Support more http features: https no cert, .netrc -> auth\n  [PATCH] Document \"curl\" requirements.\n"}]}
