I wanted to play with the patch and apply it to my source but the process is really complicated for me. I wonder if you can give me a few recommendations how to work efficiently with email patches. I don’t want to start a flame-war about what email client is “right", I am just curious how you work and what clients, scripts, or tricks you use :-)

Usually I use Apple Mail. I experimented with mutt but it was not dramatically more convenient.

Thanks, Lars
