I think I've identified the problem - I'm trying to use the `git format-patch` trick to generate a .eml file and then use Apple Mail's "Send Again" feature to send it, but it looks like some part of that process is corrupting the patch by removing at least some leading whitespace. I'll see if I can fix this without sending more emails to the list, and if I can't fix it (locally) I'll use the GitHub approach.

Thanks for your feedback!

Cheers,
Waider.
