Yeah, I wanted this same thing since I use procmail to do all my mail
sorting from a single account. A workaround is to look in the 'Context'
section for patch names, these should be enough to figure out the
repository assuming you don't have multiple branches of the same project
with substantially similar patch sets. You might want to see a previous
post I made to the list describing how to use darcs_patcher without
creating an account.
