I've had people ask for the script I use to send patches out to lkml in such a pretty format in the past, and I know people have spread it around, so I thought I'd put it up here for anyone else to use.

Be forewarned, it uses perl, requires a perl module, wants a SMTP server to connect to, and works very fast. It can easily pump out a few hundred emails in a few seconds. So be careful of it, test it first on your own email account before letting it loose on someone else.

Oh, and just so you know, it seems that SpamAssassin likes to declare things sent with this script as spam for some odd reason. Someone must have got upset at some patch I wrote someday a long time ago. Which is one reason I don't use it, I use SpamProbe.
