+@subheading Sending E-Mail Client - Example for MS Outlook.
+Using @code{git send-email} might not be desirable for everyone. The
+following trick allows to send patches via E-Mail clients in a safe
+way. It has been tested with Outlook and Thunderbird (with X-Unsent
+extension) and might work with other applications.
+
+Create your patch like this:
+
+@verbatim
+git format-patch -s -o "outputfolder" --add-header "X-Unsent: 1" --suffix .eml
--to ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org -1 1a2b3c4d
+@end verbatim
+
+Now you'll just need to open the eml file with the E-Mail application
+and execute 'Send'.

+@subheading Reviews.
Your patch will be reviewed on the mailing list. You will likely be asked
to make some changes and are expected to send in an improved version that
incorporates the requests from the review. This process may go through
