I emailed the patch purely for easy review from those on the list. This is common practice in open-source programming projects. The source itself is not meant to be actually pulled out of the emails.
You could attach the patch as well as they tend to get less mangled that way. That's what ado does.
I thought about doing this but decided against it because anyone that receives this list as a digest will have the attachments scrubbed.
Either that, or learn to use "git send-email" which seems to do a good job of not mangling patches!
I did not realise git send-email could send out patch files I always assumed they were generated from the repository. Thanks for pointing this out.
