Those patches implements a new --quote-email=<file> option.
Typical use case: the user receives a bug report by email and replies with a patch. Before this patch, to make a proper reply, the user had to perform several steps manually using "git send-email":
* Add --in-reply-to=<message_id> to the command-line for proper threading.
* Include the original recipients of the message using --to and --cc.
* Copy and prefix the original message with '> ' in the "below triple dash" part of the patch.
This patch allows send-email to do most of the job for the user, who can now save the email to a file and use:
git send-email --quote-email=<file>
"To" and "Cc" will be added automaticaly and the email quoted. It's possible to edit the email before sending with --compose.
