If you compile Vim yourself, you should stay subscribed to vim_dev. Bram 
publishes all patches there in email form, usually at about the same time that 
they arrive at the FTP server. However, personally I prefer the FTP server 
because my ISP's mail servers sometimes (and unpredictably) convert mail any 
which way between 8bit, quoted-printable and (aargh!) base64. Also, if several 
patches arrive within a short time interval, I can use multiple-get over FTP, 
and get the updated README (table of contents) with them.

The latest patch I had to use from email, but (luckily) the Google mail 
servers delivered it to me in "8bit" Content-Transfer-Encoding, so I could use 
it "as is".
