That way lots of people help to check your code and it's considerably less fiddly at my end. Canonical form is one patch per email, with the changelog at the top of the email, with a useful Subject: which describes the patch. Each patch email will have a different subject, and that subject ain't the name of the file which holds the patch! The patch will be in the body of the email of your MUA is halfway sane. As an attachment if not. Thanks.
