That's what I tried as well, but at least with --stdout, git-format-patch
preserves the date and author (From) fields of the changesets, which should
go in the body instead, while exporting the separate patches followed
by 'quilt mail --mbox' drops these fields, in addition to occasionally
screwing up the whole mbox format in the process.

I was hoping to find a simple tool to generate the mbox file in the right
format for importing into the mail client, rather then importing every
single file separately.
