I prefer the attaching text method, to be *sure* the patch is not
mangled, but that *anyone* can read it (e.g. I may want to review a
patch from a location that does not offer me gzip or whatever the
compression scheme de jour is).  Also, have you tried adjusting the
"Screen Width" settings in "General Preferences" in Yahoo Mail?

Jeff, thank you for the advice.
Don't want to give Yahoo a chance to corrupt the
patch.
I also don't like idea of cutting and pasting the
patches.
