+DESCRIPTION

+Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out.
+

+enabled interface to provide the necessary information.
+
+The options available are:

+ project involved.

+ --subject

+
+ --in-reply-to
+ Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header.
+ Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email
+ instead of this.

+ to set this to a space. For example
