There are problems in all your patches..

Actually, now that I look closer, other than the errors from patch 1 the
rest of the patches have warnings similar to patch 2.. Did you do some
type of copy&paste to put the patches into each email? Often times that
will remove all the tabs which could cause the errors above.
