I tried the Johannes's script, but it seems it doesn't work well with
the pattern of format-patch (To: <mail1>,\n   <mail2>,\n
<mailN>). The multilines are not well managed.

I am guessing that the reason why Jonahhes's "copy our headers out
with continuation lines intact" approach does not work is because
Thunderbird does not want to see its own header part (i.e. that
which comes before that $SEP) contain RFC-2822 style continuation
lines.

Can you grab a typical input (i.e. the contents of what is passed as
$1 to the appp.sh script) and show us how it looks like here so that
we can take a look?  It would be fine to paste the contents, but we
might want to protect it from MUA by doing an attachment or a
pastebin URL.

I don't have thunderbird now but actually it's really simple:

Subject:
To:
Cc:
$SEP

Each data must be in a signle line, for example "Cc: <mail1>,.....,<mailN>"

It appears that the original script tries very hard to keep the
Subject: line at the beginning, but I am not sure if that is because
Thunderbird wants to read its "$1" that way, or it is just that
original appp.sh script happened to be written that way without real
reason.  If I were updating this script, what I would do would be
more like:

Ok, good coding then.
