argh! cut-and-paste is the culprit. this is (another reason) why I hate inlining patches... just too freakin' sloppy...
Dude, you don't *need* to copy & paste to inline patches!!! Just use the "Insert File..." menu present in most (all?) mail clients... I typically do the file insertion as the very last thing, so that I only press "Send". Not that much chance of an error.
I did it this way. still botched it. your order-of-operations heuristic is a good one, and would have prevented this mistake, except in this case, cc'ing Alexandre and Ove was an afterthought, hence the cut-and-paste boo boo.
Like I said before, I am aware that a majority of the folks around here prefer the inlined patches, and I want to make you happy... so I'm compromising: small patches, or patches not intended to be applied are gonna get inlined. Big nasties are going in as attachments until Alexandre refuses to accept them. In the future I will mark all attachments for inline display, which should satisfy most readers, without driving me insane in the process.
