    I use a script to send any patches I care much about, rather than my
    email client. The script sends the file directly to my SMTP server.

    Especially when sending more than one related patch, I find it much more
    accurate to prepare the small text file indicating To, Cc, Bcc, Subject,
    local-patch-pathname for each patch in the set at my leisure, in my text
    editor, until it all looks right, then issue a single command to send it
    all off.

    Email clients, especially the gui ones I'm fond of, are not well
    suited to such work.

    There are various such 'patch-bomb' scripts out there - mine is
    available at:

            http://www.speakeasy.org/~pj99/sgi/sendpatchset

    See the embedded Usage string for documentation.

    The script checks out everything it can, including file paths and email
    addresses (by verifying them with the SMTP server) before it sends
    anything, further increasing the chance that if something is sent, it's
    all sent and correctly so.
