If you use the raw email as your patchfile, it may also depend on the
Content-Transfer-Encoding of the mail. Bram now sends it out as 8bit, which is
what I need, but I've been burnt before with quoted-printable (which is not
necessarily Bram's fault: my ISP's mail routers appear to convert from 8bit to
quoted-printable and vice-versa without a discernible rule; but I'm popping
the list mail from pop.gmail.com nowadays *and* checking the mail headers
before applying any patch I got by mail). As long as it doesn't arrive as
base64...
Best regards,
Tony.
