+if it looks patch-like.
+
+The state machine works like this:
+
+ 0a. The machinery starts at the first line of the article's body. Not
+ the header lines. We don't care about header lines at all.
+
+ 0b. The whole thing works line by line. It doesn't do any forward or
+ backward looks.
+
+ 1. Initially, we assume, that what we'll see first is part of the
+ patch's commit-message. Hence this first initial state is
+ \"commit-message\". There are several ways out of this state:
+
+ a) a scissors line is found (see 2.)
+ b) a pseudo-header line is found (see 3.)
+ c) a three-dashes line is found (see 4.)
+ d) something that looks like the start of a unified diff is
+ found (see 7.)
+
+ 2. A scissors line is something that looks like a pair of scissors running
+ through a piece of paper. Like this:
+
+ ------ 8< ----- 8< ------
+
+ or this:
+
+ ------------>8-----------
+
+ The function `ft/gnus-scissors-line-p' decides whether a line is a
+ scissors line or not. After a scissors line was treated, the machine
+ will switch back to the \"commit-mesage\" state.
+
+ 3. This is very similar to a scissors line. It'll just return to the old
+ state after its being done. The `ft/gnus-pseudo-header-p' function
+ decides if a line is a pseudo header. The line will be appropriately
+ coloured.
+
+ 4. A three-dashes line is a line that looks like this: \"---\". It's the
+ definite end of the \"commit-message\" state. The three dashes line is
+ coloured and the state switches to \"commit-comment\". (See 5.)
+
+ 5. Nothing in \"commit-comment\" will appear in the generated commit (this
+ is git-am specific semantics, but it's useful, so...). It may contain
+ things like random comments or - promimently - a diff stat. (See 6.)
+
+ 6. A diff stat provides statistics about how much changed in a given commit
+ by files and by whole commit (in a summary line). Two functions
+ `ft/gnus-diff-stat-line-p' and `ft/gnus-diff-stat-summary-p' decide if a
+ line belongs to a diff stat. It's coloured appropriately and the state
+ switches back to \"commit-comment\".
+
+ 7. There is a function `ft/gnus-unified-diff-line-p' which will cause the
+ state to switch to \"unified-diff\" state from either \"commit-message\"
+ or \"commit-comment\". In this mode there can be a set of lines types:
+
+ a) diff-header lines (`ft/gnus-diff-header-p')
+ b) index lines (`ft/gnus-index-line-p')
+ c) hunk lines (`ft/gnus-hunk-line-p')
+ d) equals line (\"^==*$\")
+ e) context lines (\"^ \")
+ f) add lines (\"^\\+\")
+ g) remove lines (\"^-\")
+ h) empty lines (\"^$\")
+

+The most fancy type of patch mails look like this:
+

+
+ Body text, which can be reflecting the commit message but may

+ More text. Usually part of the commit message. Likely

+ is ignored as far as the commit message goes.
+
+ Now for the actual diff part. I want this to work for as

+
+ There may be multiple hunks. Each file gets an \"Index:\" and

+You may define the look of several things: pseudo headers, scissor
+lines, three-dashes-line, equals lines, diffstat lines, diffstat
+summary. Then there is added lines, removed lines, context lines,
+diff-header lines and diff-file-header lines, for which we are
