Without a further explanation, I agree.

I feel like doing:

    $ git format-patch -1
    $ cat 0001-subject.patch | xclip

And then pasting in the external editor opened by Thunderbird and removing some headers is pretty simple. I'm not sure a script is really needed for that.

And who knows when ExternalEditorRevivedRevived will end up being needed.
