Delete the ones that applied, and look at the one that didn't. Then I try to apply that one manually - sometimes I actually do a quick manual branch to a known version, apply and merge - and I think I might try to use the "base wiggle" patch for that. Although I would actually prefer to be able to try against a specific named release (not "all named tags" first). Quite often, the reason it doesn't apply is that I already have that patch through a git merge (or because I applied that patch earlier through another person), in which case I don't even try to merge it, I just delete that email too, and just do "git-applymbox" again.
