I use Gnus for Emacs as my email client. It lets me pipe the contents of
a mail directly to a command. So I press '|' and then 'up-arrow' until I
get to the right command in the history. The commands look like

  hg -R ~/src/mercurial-crew import -

and will directly install the patch as a new changeset.

Unfortunately, I don't think very many email clients supports something
like this...
