From 097091c0a83754f426b3d0b22afa6c984752dbf7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Opdenacker Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2008 18:06:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: mention email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files, and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file. By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches, and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate (as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt). This should be helpful for people sending their first patches, or not sending patches on a frequent basis.
