Have > you had a similar experience? Yeah, I think the tool assumes that patches appear right in the message body, as with =E2=80=98git send-email=E2=80=99, but some of us send patches= as attachments (I know Ricardo does). If we choose to use the tool, we may have to bend our practices a little bit to placate it. Thanks for trying it out! Ludo=E2=80=99.
