However, I remind you the following:
- The patch changelogs should be put between the dashes (---) and diffstat. I don't see the changelogs when I hit reply-all because you put them as message signature (at very bottom of patch message). - DON'T DO top-posting, DO configure your MUA to make reply text below the quoted text instead.
