Yep, show original, copy and paste and git apply. Personally I would
prefer to fetch changes using, oh, I don't know, some kind of dvcs
tool... 8-) It means I don't tend to build and test many patch series
until they get merged.

It's a pity there's a patchwork server for many kernel.org projects,
but not for the git mailing list 8-(
