Please include comments like "Jeff," and "Patch was originally[...]" 
after the "---" separator, so that the automated tools may omit these 
comments without human intervention.

Which separator is that? I didn't explicitly add one unless you are
referring to the patch itself.

See #14 of Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Wow...this document got a rewrite since the last time I read it.
Thanks for pointing it out. I'll follow that on future patches.

Basically, anything after "---" in the email body (except for the patch 
content itself) is intentionally ignored -- and thus is used for comments 
like "Jeff, quit sitting on your ass and apply this damned patch" that are 
relevant but do not belong in the permanent kernel history.

git-am, Linus's tool that many of us git'ers use for importing patches from 
email.

Ok - will read the man page for that too.
