Ian,
this patch adds a script to contrib that formats an email body and a patch for
submission to gcc-patches.
This email was generated using the script, in the following way:
...
#!/bin/bash
cat compose-body-patch.header \
<(./contrib/compose-body-patch.py \
<(cat compose-body-patch.body
echo
cat compose-body-patch.log) \
compose-body-patch.patch) \
> message.txt
...
OK for trunk?
Thanks,
- Tom

+# This script combines an email body and one or more patches into a MIME
+# multipart email, adhering to the style required by
+# http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#patches
+#
+# The email can be sent by adding some more header fields and running sendmail.
+# F.i.:
+# rm -f header.txt
+# for f in From To Subject; do
+# read -p "$f: " " line
+# echo "$f: $line" >> header.txt
+# done
+# compose-body-patch.py improvement.txt improvement.patch > email.txt
+# cat header.txt email.txt | unix2dos | sendmail -t -oi
+#
+# The unix2dos for email.txt may be necessary because there's a bug in some
+# versions of python that causes the result of msg.as_string() below not to have
+# the CRLF EOL format required by MIME
+# ( discussed at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3086860
+# how-do-i-generate-a-multipart-mime-message-with-correct-crlf-in-python ).
+# But since all parts are text-based, we can work around that bug using
+# unix2dos.
+# Note that if email.txt has the right CRLF EOL format, the unix2dos for
+# header.txt is still necessary because sending emails with mixed EOL style may
+# not work.
+#
+# FWIW, if both header.txt and email.txt are in unix EOL format, this may also
+# work:
+# cat header.txt email.txt | sendmail -t -oi
+# but YMMV.
