Subject: [PATCH] Provide an emacsclient-mail.desktop
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
We provide both an emacs.desktop and an emacsclient.desktop, so for
consistency let’s do the same with mail.
* etc/emacs-mail.desktop: Extract suggestions for using emacsclient
from comments to create emacsclient-mail.desktop.
* etc/emacsclient-mail.desktop: Send mail using an existing Emacs
rather than starting a new one.
