No.  You should _not_ go "through" anything.  You should just save the
whole message as a file (using Ctrl-S or whatever is used for that, or
using some "save to mailbox file" or whatever else is available)
unchanged including all headers, and run git am on this file without any
conversion.  It will pick up everything it needs.

In case you want to use git apply instead of git am (for whatever
reason, less convenient since it does not complete the commit and does
not have the commit message), the diff itself is an inline attachment in
the mail and should be saveable separately as a file, too.

Huh.

Well, I copied him with the patch when I first sent it.  I guess when he
gets around to reading his mail and having some LilyPond time, we'll see
this appear.
