Re: [PATCH] emacs: create patch filename from subject for inline patch fake parts

[Jani Nikula <jani@nikula.org>]

Shameless promotion of own patches... I suppose not many use the
notmuch-wash-convert-inline-patch-to-part option, but with this patch
I've actually started to like it better. An actual patch name from
subject instead of "inline patch".

As I said, the lisp is less than perfect here, but this is still better
than what's existing.

Any comments?


BR,
Jani.
