Looks like the patch was mangled. Just pasting the patch into your

Actually, I found out earlier today that when a patch is sent as an
attachment, and I reply to that message message using Thunderbird, the
attachment isn't included in the reply (and so obviously isn't sitting
there quoted), making it more difficult to comment.
Either that's a Thunderbird bug, or the attachment isn't text/plain.


The message wsa one that DV sent this morning. I just checked and it is a text/plain attachment. Thunderbird was happy to *display* the attachment inline, but didn't want to include it inline in a reply. I did just figure out a workaround - select the entire displayed message prior to hitting reply, and it will include (and quote) the attachment contents in the reply.


Sometimes mailers use silly things like text/x-patch and that confuses
things. Sending them inline is safest if using a decent editor

Thunderbird isn't "decent" in that respect either ;-) I've been unable to prevent it from mangling stuff I paste into messages (of course, I haven't tried very hard either).


which
can insert files without line wrapping, or using git-send-email
