Sure, thanks.


Sorry about that; I allowed my pleasure at the cuteness of using my own
patch to send the patch override the requested courtesy of this list.

As an aside, there is a long (and discouraging) read about the issue
with Thunderbird here:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141983

Essentially, the problem is well understood - Thunderbird uses
format=flowed by default, which is what mangles the patches.  The author
of the relevant code is unmoved by arguments that the default should
switch, and no one has yet been willing to create a simpler UI for
switching the setting.

Cheers,

Jeremy
