That's what I tried as well, but at least with --stdout, git-format-patch preserves the date and author (From) fields of the changesets, which should go in the body instead, while exporting the separate patches followed by 'quilt mail --mbox' drops these fields, in addition to occasionally screwing up the whole mbox format in the process.
I was hoping to find a simple tool to generate the mbox file in the right format for importing into the mail client, rather then importing every single file separately.
