Hi Daf,

it looks that you saved the whole mail message as-is, including all the mail
headers. The patch program needs only the bare text content. Actually, this
patch program looks for very specifically formatted text content. The relevant
part of the patch starts with the line

diff -Nau my_cinelerra/quicktime/Makefile.2 
my_cinelerra_sowt/quicktime/Makefile.2

i.e. the patch program looks for a line starting with the word "diff", followed
by two file names.

hope that helps
Cheers,
Hermann V.
