Hello all,
Some time ago we discussed how to mail patches using Gnus. I have
implemented (last night) the feature for Gnus. If it is of use, we can
consider sending it to emacs upstream.
It works from dired and allows you to
1. import all patches into the DRAFTS group (ie nndraft:drafts) where
you can use commands already available to edit or send patches. See
the menu entry when you are in the DRAFTS group.
2. send directly from a dired buffer i.e. you can mark all patches and
then type C-c C-m C-s.
To use this, apply the attached patch to gnus-dired.el and eval
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'turn-on-gnus-dired-mode)
Comments and improvements are welcome.
Cheers,
Leo
