Good point. How about cutting it down to this then:

--- patch-format.html.orig      2004-08-31 17:30:55.867029816 +0100
+++ patch-format.html   2004-08-31 18:16:14.042804288 +0100
@@ -81,7 +81,9 @@

 This cannot be stressed enough.  Even when you are resending a change
 for the 5th time, resist the urge to attach 20 patches to a single
-email.
+email. If you do send multiple emails though, make sure the second
+and subsequent emails are sent as replies to the first, to keep them
+all together in a thread.
