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. > > Unfortunately my mails to this list get reformated - so > posting them > > here would be somehow useless. > > Why do they get reformatted?

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... > > You can use git to download or view these patches > > (http://www.vahanus.net/~csc/scm/ptxdist-git-svn.git or > > http://www.vahanus.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi).

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.
