217Gmail (Web GUI)
218
219If you just have to use Gmail to send patches, it CAN be made to work. It
220requires a bit of external help, though.
221
222The first problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces. This will
223totally break your patches. To prevent this, you have to use a different
224editor. There is a firefox extension called "ViewSourceWith"
225(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/394) which allows you to
226edit any text box in the editor of your choice. Configure it to launch
227your favorite editor. When you want to send a patch, use this technique.
228Once you have crafted your messsage + patch, save and exit the editor,
229which should reload the Gmail edit box. GMAIL WILL PRESERVE THE TABS.
230Hoorah. Apparently you can cut-n-paste literal tabs, but Gmail will
231convert those to spaces upon sending!
232
233The second problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces on replies. If
234you reply to a patch, don't expect to be able to apply it as a patch.
235
236The last problem is that Gmail will base64-encode any message that has a
237non-ASCII character. That includes things like European names. Be aware.
238
239Gmail is not convenient for lkml patches, but CAN be made to work.
