I agree that sending a patch out via email blindly is not the appropriate method. It would have been much better to send the email as they did but provide a link to download the patch from the Broadvoice website. This would help verify the authenticity of the patch and not cause the discussion that it did.

In any case, the patch has been positively identified as being genuine.

That's not the point. The point is distributing patches via email is a
horrible way to do patches, and teaches users to "just trust what comes in
the mail". It should be put on a site that's trusted and easily verified and
a notice of that sent out. Even Microsoft has this down.
