I use the following macros to apply patches directly from mutt (once I'm in a project working directory): macro index A ":unset pipe_decode\n|(umask 0022 && git am -3)\n:set pipe_decode\n" macro pager A ":unset pipe_decode\n|(umask 0022 && git am -3)\n:set pipe_decode\n" I will often save/copy messages to a separate mbox and apply them all at once with "git am", perhaps editing them a little first (commit message fixes/addendums, adding signed-off-by: tags, etc...)
