You're getting the email subject line a bit wrong.

If it says "[PATCH]", one expects the email to actually contain a patch...

The normal options for including comments are:

1) If it's a single patch, include meta-comments like "for 2.6.27, not 
2.6.26" after the "---" separator.  See Documentation/SubmittingPatches 
for more information.

2) If it's multiple patches, include exposition in a separate email 
numbered zero.  Example subject lines of three emails:

	[PATCH 0/2] sfc: patchset to do cool and nifty stuff

	(summarizes the patchset)

	[PATCH 1/2] sfc: add support for nifty feature bamboozle
	[PATCH 2/2] sfc: remove support for silly feature zappadoo

	(individual patches)

Regards,

	Jeff
