Just thinking about it -- this was the first time that I had
trouble applying one of your patches.  But I remembered that
previously, I always applied your patch from the attachment.
This time there was no attachment, so I saved the email message
and edited out the email headers.

I know you've had a lot of trouble with attachments and patches
not applying -- I'd like to get it sorted out if possible.

1) Are you using a Windows machine to send your emails?  If so,
is it possible that there is a Unix/Linux machine you could try
sending from?  Your attachments look OK for me, but some people
seem to have had problems with them.

2) And are you using cut-and-paste to insert the patches into the
body of your email?  That would certainly cause problems, because
tabs might be changed into spaces (which is exactly what was
causing patch to fail for me today).
