For backup purposes, I run getmail from cron to download all my gmail
email.

To pull out a patchbomb:
  1. Select "Show original" in gmail for the cover letter,
  2. Copy Message-Id,
  3. Run "gmail-extract-patch-series message-id /tmp/cool-patch-series-"
     from the directory that contains the downloaded emails (I use one
     directory per day),
  4. git am -s /tmp/cool-patch-series-*.patch

$ cat $(type -p gmail-extract-patch-series)
#!/bin/bash

set -e

function usage()
{
        cat <<END

Usage: $(basename $0) <message-id> <prefix> [ <files> ... ]

END
        exit -1
}


if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
        usage
fi

mid=$1
prefix=$2
shift
shift

if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
        files=*
else
        files=$*
fi

for src in $(grep -l $mid $files); do
        if grep -m 1 "^Subject: Re: " $src > /dev/null; then
                echo Ignoring reply in $src
        else
                i=$(grep ^Subject: $src | sed -e 's@/.*$@@g' -e 's@^.* @@g')
                case $i in
                0|00|000) # Sending more than 999 patches is insane
                       suffix=txt
                        ;;
                *)
                        suffix=patch
                        ;;
                esac
                dst=$prefix$i.$suffix
                echo Extracting \"$(grep ^Subject $src | sed -e
's at Subject: @@g')\" to $dst

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
