Liming, Stephano and all stewards,
My understanding is the requirement of embedding patch into the mail body is due to a limitation in old system (01.org). That system couldn't support mail attachments.

With the existence of mail attachments capability in new groups.io system, can we accept such kind of patch submission? Or any side effect you see if allowing mail attachments?

Thanks,
Ray

OK. So, you can't use git send-email to send this patch. Another way is to fork edk2 and create the branch to include this change.
Then, send the mail to let people review this patch in your branch.

And, for this patch, can you submit BZ https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/ first?
Then, update its commit message format based on this wiki.

Hi Liming,

I sent the review request based on the description in the links that you mentioned below.
I sent it in an Dell Email since I cannot use GIT SMTP to send email out from our servers.
Please let me know what is wrong and I can help rectify that.

Subject: [PATCH] MdePkg/DxeHstiLib: Added checks to improve error handling.
Added checks for return parameters of LocateHandleBuffer & GetSupportedTypes
function calls in InternalHstiFindAip to improve error handling. An issue was
observed on Dell Poweredge R740, where the Dell PERC H740P controller UEFI
driver returned InfoTypesBuffer = NULL, InfoTypesBufferCount = 0 and caused
an FreePool assert.
