Perhaps you would want to find an e-mail client that can handle text
files better, then? ;-)

If you are cloning and following along my tree from one of these
places:

    git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git/
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/
    git://github.com/git/git.git/

the 'todo' branch in these repositories keeps track of the
whats-cooking.txt report (among other things), so you can also:

    $ git cat-file -p origin/todo:whats-cooking.txt |
      grep -e "^[[*]"

to get the same effect.
