"email transit" does not mess up whitespace, though perhaps your web
browser does (when you copy-paste the patch from the web interface).

If the patches were submitted as PR attachments (using 'send-pr -a'),
you can download them separately from the web interface, and avoid the
entire copy-paste issue:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/113799

Finally, if you do end up with a patch with messed-up whitespace, you
can still apply it using 'patch -l'.
