If it's only the occasional patch - (I see you're on gmail too), show
original and copy-and-paste into an editor with tabs set up
appropriately. Works for me.

Junio's blog[1] shows he's looking at patchwork. Personally I think it
would be fantastic to have a public patchwork server available. It
might avoid the chicken and egg problem in that it's currently easier
(for some people) to get hold of a patch to play with / review only
after it's accepted.

That said, I think including a link to a repo/branch from which the
current version of a patch series could be fetched would be an
amazingly useful addition to most [PATCH 0/n] cover-letters...
