In this case, the patch can be applied, from within the mutt source
directory, like so:
$ patch -p1 < patch-1.3.27.ds.askfrom.txt
For patch, the -p# tells patch how many directory levels to remove from
the filenames. If you read through the patch file, you can see that it
references files as "mutt-1.3.27/init.h" and "mutt-1.3.27/send.c", which
is to say 1 directory and then a filename, so patch has to strip off 1
level of directories to file the name of the file to patch.
