Piping a patch to patchee

Piping a patch to patchee

[reader]

I think I remember sending patches from a artile buffer to the
directory and target of the patch from gnus somehow.

Full searches in gnus info on patch and pipe do not find this info.
I'm pretty sure there was once something in the manual about it.

Anyone remember or know how its done?

`C-h i d m gnus RET i pipe RET ,'...

As for the directory you may either use `-d' or set
`default-directory':

   ))

I just use `M-x ediff-patch-file' from the summary buffer.  It
defaults to asking if the patch is in the article buffer (well it does
for me).

Not really the one I was after... I saw that on the first 
index search as you've noted.

But I hadn't put it together with the rest of your post.

Nice.. thanks.
