You mean 5 mails with one patch each? Or one mail with 5 diff files?


Just to be clarify a bit more, a "patch" fixes one thing, or several closely related things. A patch can contain changes to multiple files, when multiple files need to be changed to fix something. After applying a single patch, Wine should be able to be recompiled and run, presumably with whatever was being fixed now working.


In the case of your original email, where there is one attachment for menu size and one for nonclient size, they probably should be sent in separate patches/emails.



OK, but the size patch in menu.c and nonclient.c are actually a fix for a
thing: the size of the menubar. So I think it should be sent in one mail,
right?

If the resulting patch is small yes. If it is larger the typicaly you should send several smaller patches with the same subject line + some indication that they are patch 1 of N.
