Re: [PATCH 1/2] Provide a common malloc wrappers and palloc et al. emulation for frontend'ish environs

Am I the only one who finds this way of posting patches really annoying?

Here is a patch with no description other than a list of changed
files. And discussion happens in a completely different email.

What's wrong with just posting the patch as a regular attachment(s) to
a regular thread, like other people do?

Yes, I'm well aware that some mailers thread them in right. Our
archives code does. But many MUAs don't. But even when using a MUA
that threads it correctly, I find it quite annoying that you have to
open one email to read the comments and a different email toview the
patch.

It may be just me. But it may be others as well, so I figured I should
raise the issue :)
