These days what I do is write the email and ChangeLog entry into the git commit message; then use git send-email to send the whole series. This requires minimal configuration and in particular doesn't need MUA tweaking. Then when the time comes to apply, I use git cvsexportcommit, and edit in the ChangeLog entries by hand. This step is a pain. Finally, I've taken the lead from Pedro and Joel and use the .msg file that cvsexportcommit leaves as the commit text. I've tried a number of workflows over the years. I find that this one has the least amount of make-work; but naturally YMMV. Tom
