So because my mailbox was more unruly than normal (because of same maintainer summit travel), I almost missed this email entirely. Why? Because you don't have the normal "git pull" anywhere in the email, so it doesn't trigger my search for important emails. There's a "git" in the email body, but there's not a "pull" anywhere. Could you add either a "please pull" or something to the email body - or to make things _really_ obvious, add the "[GIT PULL]" prefix to the subject line? Or anything, really, to whatever script or workflow you use to generate these? Linus

The reason I do that is I generate on one machine the body, and send it via the gmail webui on whatever machine I'm using. This helps avoids google tagging my emails as spam for generating them using someone elses smtp servers. I should probably setup properly sending gmail to avoid that. Dave.

Note that my "find git pull requests" logic doesn't need it in the subject line at all, so if you just change whatever script you use to generate the email body to have an additional "pull" in there somewhere, that's perfectly workable too. > The reason I do that is I generate on one machine the body, and send > it via the gmail webui on whatever machine I'm using.

Don't worry too much about it too much. I _do_ try to always read all my email, it's just that I find things faster that match that pattern. And I don't think I've actually lost one of your pull requests (knock wood), they might just end up delayed a bit. That said - having "[GIT PULL]" in the subject line is how the pr-tracker-bot finds the emails too, so if you do the subject line thing, you'll not only trigger my search term, you'll also get the nice notifications from the bot when I've pushed out my merge.
