Ouch, no worries. Looks like either my process is bad, or Thunderbird
isn't handing things so well. :(

Understood. I'll look into other mailers.
For just sending patches to the list, the simplest way is to just use GIT
itself. eg, my workflow is to create a branch for all my changes, and
then periodically spam the list with the changes on the branch
git checkout -b mywork
...make some commits on 'mywork' branch
git send-email \
--compose \
--no-chain-reply-to \
--to libvir-list(a)redhat.com master..
Since we're on 'mybranch', the tag 'master..' means send all the
commits made on the branch that aren't in master. The '--compose'
is good if you're sending a series of patches, making it display
an editor for writing the covering letter. The commit messages
form the body of each mail.
Tip when learning to use git send-email is to send the email to
yourself instead of the mailing list first :-)

Daniel
