GMail's favorite passtime is to magle diffs. To get a diff from gmail click the little drop down and choose show original, now save the page onto your filesystem and strip the mail message and mime type footer. Also dont send patches using gmail, use mutt with the IMAP extension, or it will wrap the lines. -- Best Regards Edd http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
