Below is a patch to implement this piece. It seems to do the trick so that I can now actually view image attachments with 'v' (hurrah!). So I think I'll push this now. -Carl PS. I know that attaching the output of "git format-patch" to a message like this isn't the "git way". (That is, you won't get the right result by simply piping this message to "git am".) But I really wish it were. It seems I often write code in response to an email message and I often want to reply to that *message* and incidentally provide a patch. The git way, with the commit message in the subject and the first part of the body seems backwards to me, (as far as the conversation is concerned). PPS. If I did want to construct this message in the "git way", but without using git-send-mail, I know how to construct the subject line and how to put explanatory text like this below the separator. But what am I supposed to do with the commit identifier that appears in an mbox "From" line in the format-patch output? I assume this is required for "git am -3" to work, but where can I put it in an email message?
