Let me make sure I understand correctly.

You must have my previous e-mail with the patch in front of you, with the 
attached unified diff. Are you saying that rather than just taking that 
unidiff, from the e-mail I already sent, you want me to send you exactly the 
same file, only with a different subject line that starts with [PATCH]?

I'd like to point out that a) while this may be part of some standardized 
project etiquette, I've yet to see these required steps clearly spelled out 
anywhere, and b) why can't you just take the diff I already sent and 
apply/test/molest/etc it now that you have it?
