So basically in v2 I should reorder tags such that Sign-off will be the last. Did I get that right? Or am I missing something?

Did I get that right? Or am I missing something? [...] I am not sure about the messages outside of the mailing list between you, Alex and Raphael, as normally conversation and any reviews would happen here (on the mailing list, that is), but as long as everyone involved is on the same page, then every should be fine. In terms of how to format the patch, have a look at the following, especially before you send another version, as there are some good tips and recommendations there (including how to order things): https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20171026223701.GA25649@bhelgaas-glaptop.roam.corp.google.com/ Krzysztof

Hi Amey, [...] > Basically whole thing boils down to I'm not good at handling terminal > email clients. I'll surely keep those points mentioned by Bjorn > in my mind. [...] No worries. Thunderbird works fine with Google Mail and can send plain text e-mails too, if you get tired of Mutt etc. By the way, don't immediately send v2 quite yet. Allow people some time to review first version. Well, unless you deem that you need to do it, that is. Krzysztof

Sorry, are we talking about specific devices/flows/applications that must have this functionality or about theoretical use case? Thanks
