<h1>
git-mailinfo(1) Manual Page
</h1>
<h2>NAME</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>git-mailinfo -
Extracts patch and authorship from a single e-mail message
</p>
</div>
</div>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p><em>git-mailinfo</em> [-k] [-u | --encoding=&lt;encoding&gt;] &lt;msg&gt; &lt;patch&gt;</p>
</div>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>Reading a single e-mail message from the standard input, and
writes the commit log message in &lt;msg&gt; file, and the patches in
&lt;patch&gt; file. The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject are
written out to the standard output to be used by git-am
to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this
command directly. See <a href="git-am.html">git-am(1)</a> instead.</p>
</div>
<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<dl>
<dt>
-k
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Usually the program <em>cleans up</em> the Subject: header line
to extract the title line for the commit log message,
among which (1) remove <em>Re:</em> or <em>re:</em>, (2) leading
whitespaces, (3) <em>[</em> up to <em>]</em>, typically <em>[PATCH]</em>, and
then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
munging, and is most useful when used to read back <em>git
format-patch -k</em> output.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
-u
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The commit log message, author name and author email are
taken from the e-mail, and after minimally decoding MIME
transfer encoding, re-coded in UTF-8 by transliterating
them. This used to be optional but now it is the default.
</p>
<p>Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset
conversion, even with this flag.</p>
</dd>
<dt>
--encoding=&lt;encoding&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Similar to -u but if the local convention is different
from what is specified by i18n.commitencoding, this flag
can be used to override it.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
&lt;msg&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The commit log message extracted from e-mail, usually
except the title line which comes from e-mail Subject.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
&lt;patch&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The patch extracted from e-mail.
</p>
</dd>
