Hi Eric,

Thanks for your comments. I also prefer the second reply threading.

Exactly I use git send-email to post patches to this mailing list. $ git send-email 0000-cover-letter.patch 0001-change-machine-name-ppce500v2-as-ppce500.patch 0002-qemu-Fix-specifying-char-devs-for-PPC.patch 0003-tests-add-test-case-for-serial-option-for-ppce500.patch --to="libvir-list@redhat.com"

$ git config --global -l sendemail.smtpserver=remotesmtp.freescale.net sendemail.chainreplyto=true

This is the culprit. Per 'git send-email --help', the git default of sendemail.chainreplyto=false gives the style we prefer.

sendemail.confirm=auto

Is there any configuration for git to follow up?

Depends on whether you want to change the settings for all repositories on your computer (~/.gitconfig, or 'git config --global') or just for your copy of libvirt.git (libvirt/.git/config, or plain 'git config'). We also tend to avoid top-posting on the list. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
