Sure. But the more I think about it, I think we probably want this to
be part of patchbomb so that we only have one email command.

Let's think about how to do that. Here are the current email options:

 -a --attach    send patches as inline attachments
    --bcc       email addresses of blind copy recipients
 -c --cc        email addresses of copy recipients
 -d --diffstat  add diffstat output to messages
 -g --git       use git extended diff format
 -f --from      email address of sender
    --plain     omit hg patch header
 -n --test      print messages that would be sent
 -m --mbox      write messages to mbox file instead of sending them
 -s --subject   subject of first message (intro or single patch)
 -t --to        email addresses of recipients

Also add the --outgoing that Brendan's working on. And I believe your
version adds --base and -r. So now we need a -b/--bundle option.

So for patch style, we can use -a, -d, -g, and --plain. For bundles,
we can use -b, --base, and -r. The other options apply to both modes.
For projects which always want bundles, people can add -b to their
.hg/hgrc.
