I’m using an email client in Emacs, so the email as well as the attached patch is shown in a regular text buffer. When I see the patch I can directly apply it by running “git am” on the buffer contents, or by opening a shell and running “git am” on the file associated with the buffer. Using Emacs it’s very little work. It would be more work and probably more awkward when using an external email client or a web browser. ~~ Ricardo
