Make change, add changelog, post patch :-) As far as attachments goes, isn't it easier > to apply a patch if you just have a file rather than cutting and pasting? > The problem with Outlook is that you lose all tab characters - they become > spaces. I don't think there's a way to work around this. (bites tongue :-) My reason for asking this favour is that mailers (e.g., mozilla) refuses to display application/octet-stream attachments as inline text (kind of understandable - the content is not printable). That makes reviewing anything you post that bit harder. To comment, I've got to unpack the mail and then inspect separate files. If, instead the attachment could be made some sort of printable type (how about e-mailing me a diff called diff.txt?), it will be displayed in-line and people will be able to quickly/efficiently cut/paste any reply. enjoy, Andrew
