ptxdist saved me already some good amount of time by not reinventing the
wheel again :-) So contributing to it seems to be the right way.

That would be last resort. Evolution was perfectly fine, when set to
text mode. But some weeks ago something changed, and now Evolution seems
to wrap lines. Maybe the authors want it to be more Outlook alike :-(

Maybe I can get sendmail or similiar work, so that I can sent the mails
containing patches directly from the shell...

Do you mean the GIT stuff or attachments? 

Attachments should work, but depending on the mailinglist you are not
allowed to send patches this way.

With the GIT repository patches can be downloaded directly from the
gitweb frontend. Saves traffic on the list, and perfectly avoids broken
patches.

Apropos Git-svn. It also allows commits to the SVN origin, in case you
have write access :-) This might be useful for you, as you could pull
patches from external GIT repositories - like mine - and push it as a
regular subversion commit later.

Regards
  Carsten
