Thanks for the fix!  I liked it very much, except that I've split it in
two commits.  I've pushed them already, so you can check what I did.

Regarding git & email, the patch was corrupt.  It has this:

	 Linux 2.5.52 (backported into Linux 2.4.22)
	,

which was breaking a line from the patch.  Thus, the patch didn't apply;
but I fixed the patch manually, since it was easy.  I guess protonmail
did something bad to the mail.  I wonder why it decided to break that
line and only that one.  :|


Have a lovely day!
