Eww don't talk to me about emacs ;)

I expect to be able to read things I am sent in my mail reader. I expect
to able to pick out parts of patch and reply with them quoted saying
why I don't like the parts. I would like to able to do this without the
following process :

Save the attachment
scp the file to my home box
gunzip the attachment
copy and paste all the relevant parts back to my mail reader

Which is what I have to undergo now.

I don't know. But that's not what I'm doing.
