Applied - thanks.

However the patch was corrupted a bit - most of the lines had 2 leading
spaces where they should have had one.  It was easy enough to fix it but for
a larger patch it would be a problem.

There is presumably some way to tell Thunderbird to send the text verbatim
and not reformat it, but I have no idea what that way would be...

That'll be format=flowed and its space-stuffing to protect some lines. 
I'm not clear why lines which begin with one space need an extra one 
added. Anyway.

Yes, Thunderbird can have format=flowed disabled by setting 
mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed to false in the config editor, or you can 
send really plain text line a patch by attaching it.

Cheers,

John.
