Hi Andreas,

I realized that I forgot to supply the --thread parameter to 
git format-patch. Only then it will create the message id and 
in-reply-to headers.

Even though Outlook replaces the message ids with its own IDs,
it seems to be sufficient for Patchwork when messages have a common
In-reply-to value, even when none of the messages actually had that
id.

If you create the patches with cover letter (you don't need to send
it), then the 1st patch will already have an in-reply-to header 
(pointing at the cover letter's MsgID).

I use this:

git format-patch -v 5 -s -o "v:\ffbuild\source\patches" --thread --cover-letter --add-header "X-Unsent: 1" --suffix .eml --to ffmpeg-devel at ffmpeg.org -12 abcde

Afterwards I just open each .eml file in Outlook and hit 'send', 
(which only works when the X-Unsent header is present)
