You can work around this by enabling quell-flowed-text - then pine will 
never mangle patches. Currently (pine4.64), if you're disabling flowed 
text on a per-message basis with ^V before sending, patches containing 
trailing whitespace will get mangled. Pine labels the message as not 
flowed, but does the mangling anyway :-/

Tooting my own horn here, but I submitted a pine patch this week which 
fixes the issue. Hopefully, the next pine release will behave correctly. 
You'll still have to remember to hit ^V before sending mail containing 
patches, and you should always use ^R to include patch files, since 
newlines in the input are treated magically. Or, you can enable 
quell-flowed-text, and pretend the whole flowed text feature never 
happened. I'll shut up about pine now :-)
