Subject: [PATCH] Add a helper script to send patches with Mozilla Thunderbird

From: Lukas Sandström <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:37:04 +0200

The script appp.sh can be used with the External Editor extension for
Mozilla Thunderbird in order to be able to send inline patches in an
easy way.

Hi,
I sent this out a year ago or so. I figured I'd put the script
in contrib/, in case someone finds it useful.
(and yes, this patch is sent using appp.sh)

+There is a script in contrib/thunderbird-patch-inline which can help
+you include patches with Thunderbird in an easy way. To use it, do the
+steps above and then use the script as the external editor.

+appp.sh is a script that is supposed to be used together with ExternalEditor
+for Mozilla Thundebird. It will let you include patches inline in e-mails
+in an easy way.
+
+Usage:
+- Generate the patch with git format-patch.
+- Start writing a new e-mail in Thunderbird.
+- Press the external editor button (or Ctrl-E) to run appp.sh
+- Select the previosly generated patch file.
+- Finish editing the e-mail.
+
+Any text that is entered into the message editor before appp.sh is called
+will be moved to the section between the --- and the diffstat.
+
+All S-O-B:s and Cc:s in the patch will be added to the CC list.
+
+To set it up, just install External Editor and tell it to use appp.sh as the
+editor.
+
+Zenity is a required dependency.
