How did you save the patch from your email?

`o' (`gnus-mime-save-part') on the attachment.

Hmmm. That sounds reasonable.

Most likely that's when it got corrupted.

Hm, that's the normal way I do it. I tested it with another patch and it worked.

All I can think is that maybe for some reason gnus corrupts patches only occasionally (e.g. I've run into scenarios in the past where mailers corrupted patches containing a "From" at the beginning of a line). But I've very little idea what could be the problem. Maybe you could send the file you saved to me as an attachment? (Or put it up to be downloaded?)

Sure. You can fetch it from

http://www.tsdh.de/add-layoutchoice-module_.dpatch

It looks like you're using gmane, and gmane is for some reason munging the email addresses, or at least that's my best guess. I have no idea why it would do this (or why it wouldn't always do so). (I am *so* glad I added that hash to the patch bundles... it's hard to imagine how I lived without it.)
