Well, I'm presuming that you mean me, since that's how the quote
attribution read.  The problem is pretty clearly at Mailman or further
down the line. (I'd sort of suspect the Notes server. But blaming Notes
is a bit too easy. Sort of like dynamite-fishing in an aquarium).

David's doing a good thing for everybody by creating patches. Getting
the patches as attachments, rather than inline in the body makes the
workflow for anyone applying them a _lot_ easier.  Suggesting that
someone switch MUAs because the MUA has wonky wordwrapping is kind of a
big hammer. 


[Off topic, I'm looking for a good mail client for dealing with large
volumes of mail that allows fast searching over the full text of all
messages, works well in a 'disconnected' mode and isn't Mail.app,
Thunderbird, Mutt, Eudora, Mulberry, Evolution, mutt, pine or Gnus.
Though, to try to avoid the inevitable, I'm going to suggest that any
discussion of the relative merits of mail clients be over frosty
beverages. (Absolute recommendations, on the other hand, would be
wondeful. ;) ]
