Hi! Is it possible to improve your script so it to automatically process not only patches attached to messages but also those which linked from messages?
It is quite boring to download a patch, then attach it, while much easier is to just add links to patches in the message.
To be honest, if the world was different then this would be a good idea. This might have worked back in the 1990s, when the Internet was somewhat safer, but in today's highly litigated environment with hair trigger prosecution you can't just randomly download links that are submitted to a mailing list. All it would take is for some idiot to send in a link to illegal content, which would be automatically downloaded for processing, to create a lot of trouble for the project.
For now, attachments are best. Yes it is a pain, and if you absolutely must you still can send links, but if you send links they will not be processed quickly--you will have to keep sending reminders to us, as they will not show up on patchwork.
