+appp.sh is a script that is supposed to be used together with ExternalEditor
2
+for Mozilla Thundebird. It will let you include patches inline in e-mails
3
+in an easy way.
4
+
5
+Usage:
6
+- Generate the patch with git format-patch.
7
+- Start writing a new e-mail in Thunderbird.
8
+- Press the external editor button (or Ctrl-E) to run appp.sh
9
+- Select the previosly generated patch file.
10
+- Finish editing the e-mail.
11
+
12
+Any text that is entered into the message editor before appp.sh is called
13
+will be moved to the section between the --- and the diffstat.
14
+
15
+All S-O-B:s and Cc:s in the patch will be added to the CC list.
16
+
17
+To set it up, just install External Editor and tell it to use appp.sh as the
18
+editor.
19
