Does saving the message like this give you a file you can apply directly with the patch command? When I save it (using | or from view-raw) I get a message which looks like (Delivery headers) From: ... To: ... Subject: =?UTF-8?q?=5BPATCH=5D=20emacs=3A=20Improved=20printing=20support=2E?= Date: .. (some X and list headers) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: notmuch-boun...@notmuchmail.org Errors-To: notmuch-boun...@notmuchmail.org QWRkIHZhcmlvdXMgZnVuY3Rpb25zIHRvIHByaW50IG5vdG11Y2ggbWVzc2FnZXMgYW5kIHRpZSB0 aGVtIHRvZ2V0aGVyCndpdGggYSBzaW1wbGUgZnJvbnRlbmQuIE5vIGtleWJpbmRpbmcgaXMgY3Vy cmVudGx5IG1hZGUgdG8gZW5jb3VyYWdlCnBhcGVyIHNhdmluZy4KLS0tCgpSZXN1cnJlY3Rpbmcg .. for 100 lines or so The saved file is identical to the file in my maildir. But feeding it to patch in the form patch -p1 < exported_file does not work. I have just discovered git am which solves this problem for patches but I think it might be useful to be able to export the plain-text email sometimes. (If this is all some messed up utf-8 settings my end then many apologies for the noise) Many thanks Mark _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
