<div>> Option 1:</div>
<div>> ---------</div>
<div>> I've been playing with sending patches using Outlook. "Properly</div>
<div>> formatted" patches can be done by changing to a monospace font. This</div>
<div>> can be done either before or after pasting in the patch:</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> Before pasting in the patch, you can change the format using a monospace</div>
<div>> font and honor the line breaks by selecting the menu option "Format /</div>
<div>> Style / Formatted" and then pasting the patch into that section.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> If you forget or misfire on pre-selecting the font, after pasting in the</div>
<div>> patch, you can highlighting the patch and select the menu option "Format</div>
<div>> / Style / Formatted".</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> Option 2:</div>
<div>> ---------</div>
<div>> It is possible that your Exchange server supports port 25 (depends how</div>
<div>> what your IT staff configured it). If this is the case, git-send-email</div>
<div>> will work directly with your Exchange server.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> You need to figure out the Exchange server and your user name (including</div>
<div>> the AD domain).</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> To figure out your Exchange server:</div>
<div>> 1) In Outlook, select the menu selection Tools/Email Accounts.. which</div>
<div>> brings up a dialog allowing you to "View or change existing e-mail</div>
<div>> accounts"</div>
<div>> 2) Click the "Next" button which brings up the next dialog box.</div>
<div>> 3) Select the "Microsoft Exchange Server" account and click the "Change"</div>
<div>> button.</div>
<div>> 4) This dialog box shows your Exchange server name.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> From the command line, run</div>
<div>> telnet <exchsvr> 25</div>
<div>> and, if you get a prompt, you have port 25 support enabled (good!).</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> Note that you can use the above information to configure Thunderbird to</div>
<div>> use Exchange via IMAP (IMAP or port 25 for sending) as well.</div>
<div>> Thunderbird isn't (much? any?) better than Outlook for sending patches</div>
<div>> as far as I can tell. The built in editor line wraps unless you do the</div>
<div>> HTML/preformatted trick the same way as Outlook requires (gag). The</div>
<div>> linux kernel hints talk about using an external editor with Tbird, but I</div>
<div>> don't see that as an option under Windows.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> Best regards,</div>
<div>> gvb</div>

<div>Thanks Jerry. Option 1 did the trick. My mistake was sending the patches using plain text instead of rich text as you had suggested. Gonna repost the patches now – hopefully for the last time.</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
