I personally dislike this method as a recipient. Context matters, and
seeing how an isolated patch fits in a bigger series is pretty
important. I can mark the patches I don't care about quicker than you
can say "Don't care", and it saves me having to drag the mbox via lore
and import it.

That's only me, but I suspect I'm not the only one with that
particular flow.

Thanks,

	M.
