I prefer not to receive patches this way, sorry.  I will need to detach
the attachments, copy-n-paste the changelogs and signoffs and then
invent meaningful English-language titles for each patch.

The problem is the last part.  The titles I choose may be
inappropriate, and if anyone in a year's time tries to find the history
of a patch by googling for the title, they may not be able to find this
email thread.  A well-chosen title becomes a nice search key for looking
up the patch in reviewion control systems and on the 'net.

There are reasons for the conventions, so please let's be conventional.
Send it as three sequences-numbered emails, one with a carefully chosen
title/Subject: and each one with its own changelog, signoffs, etc.

Also, if you _must_ use attachments, please use text/plain mimetypes,
thanks.
