I'm afraid this patch is completely whitespace damaged: the tabs have
all become spaces and the mailer has broken some of the lines.

Since it's a one liner, I can make the fix directly, but if you look at

Documentation/SubmittingPatches

It has some good advice about how to fix your email tool to prevent this
from happening in future.

Ugh, mea culpa! Thanks James. I haven't submitted anything in a while, and was using Thunderbird. I will
go off and figure out how to make it leave the contents alone, or I'll use a less "clever" client in future.
Many thanks for the response and the gentle coaching :-)

Regards,

Tim
