I'd prefer to get a re-send, I've already nuked the patch from me tree. These days, 99% of the patches I write are throw-away stuff just for this kind of "how about this" email exchange. I do it that way partly because I'm lazy (ok, _mostly_ because I'm lazy, except then the explanation emails like this are actually more work than just doing it myself - but I tell myself that it makes it easier for me be lazy in the long run ;^). But partly it's because it makes it more natural to credit the person who actually reported the issue (the patch itself is *much* less important than the fact that somebody noticed the problem in the first place), and also partly because sometimes the patches may need some extra tender care and loving ("Oh, the patch I sent out didn't actually compile, and it burnt down your house? Yeah, it was just a general 'wouldn't this way be nicer' thing, not a serious patch").
