People should stop complaining about that. Deleting a mail is a single
keystroke. Finding all the patches to apply them and test, or even
to review them is a nightmare. That is why depending on my mood I'll
either complain like now when people do that crap, or if I feel bad
enough just ignore them. If you don't give me the full context you
can't expect me to have an informed opinion.

Btw, the private forwarding is the worst of all worlds - now I have
the patches, but can't sensibly reply to them..
