      <p>You most likely found this page because you contributed patches to the Git mailing list via GitGitGadget, and a mail from the Git mailing list was mirrored to your Pull Request, and now you need to answer.</p>
<p>The easiest method (unless you are subscribed to the Git mailing list and saw the mail already) is to import the so-called &quot;mbox&quot; file. You can get that by following the &quot;On the Git mailing list&quot; link on the top of the mirrored mail and then downloading the &quot;raw&quot; version (you can do the same by appending <code>/raw</code> to the link).</p>
<p>This file now needs to be imported into your regular mail program.</p>

<p>Simply copy the file to the <code>new</code> subfolder in your mailer&#39;s maildir folder.</p>

<p>You can use the command-line tool <code>curl</code> (provided that your version has IMAP support):</p>
