Elia Pinto 57eb1bef7d contrib/thunderbird-patch-inline/appp.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitution
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX.  However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly.  In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

The patch was generated by:

for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
	perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg'  "${_f}"
done

and then carefully proof-read.

README

appp.sh is a script that is supposed to be used together with ExternalEditor
for Mozilla Thunderbird. It will let you include patches inline in e-mails
in an easy way.

Usage:
- Generate the patch with git format-patch.
- Start writing a new e-mail in Thunderbird.
- Press the external editor button (or Ctrl-E) to run appp.sh
- Select the previously generated patch file.
- Finish editing the e-mail.

Any text that is entered into the message editor before appp.sh is called
will be moved to the section between the --- and the diffstat.

All S-O-B:s and Cc:s in the patch will be added to the CC list.

To set it up, just install External Editor and tell it to use appp.sh as the
editor.

Zenity is a required dependency.
