Hotmail better get their act together or I will have to go elsewhere. Leading spaces are getting dropped when I inline and even when I attach as a TXT file. The only way it will let all my patches through unharmed is by leaving the extension as DIFF. I have several patches in my queue, but have been reluctant to send them out until I get this resolved.

Maybe you should include a step by step instruction for outlook users how to do that. It seems that outlook is the leading misattachment generator, so instead of just telling people what NOT to do, maybe you can tell people how to do it right.
Well I suppose I could if I had those instructions. However it seems out of scope for a style section. AFAIK just giving the patch a .txt extention and attaching will solve the problem for most mailers including outlook.

I don't think that resolving the problems should be a requirement to actually sned patches. Send them out now and just write a short note about currently not being able to "properly" attach them. The attachment requirement is intended to increase the speed of development, not slow it down.
ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer jmayer@loplof.de I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know what proactive means.
