I use either KNode or Thunderbird with NNTP/Gmane, and I don't have any problems when doing "Reply All" even if I forget to remove nntp-reply. You should do reply-all anyway, because not everyone is subscribed, and not everyone uses nntp-ml. > I use git sendemail even for small throw-in patches because the git-ml > does not allow attachments but wants patches (files) as in-line text, > and Thunderbird possibly reformats text (because it's text, you know). For some strange reason Thunderbird used as NNTP reader does not screw up with whitespace, while Thunderbird used as email client does. Al least it did last time I forgot to create new email in its NNTP reader. Note that git-format-patch has Thunderbird subsection in the "MUA specific hints" section. > When I want to try out a proposed patch I have to "save message" and run > git-am because patches don't come as file attachments on the git-ml > (can't use "save/open attachment"+ git-apply) nor a PR (can't use git > fetch nor view in browser). Inline are preferred over attachment because it is easier to review and comment on online patches. Anyway, it is the same amount of steps, and git-am preserves commit message. > If it's a series, I have to do that for each > invididual patch, which usually means I simply don't (or rely on Junio > doing it and fetch his xy/topic branch). I think you can save-all on the whole thread... Best, -- Jakub Narębski
