You "had to apply them manually" only because you did not configure your
system to apply them automatically. RTFM, it tells you exactly what to do
to have deltas applied automatically, if that is what you want.

Hint: If you are not already automatically combining the pieces, it's only
one line in .procmail or your mail alias file.
And to apply that result to your tree is just one additional command line
parameter.
