Hi Luke;

  Is it possible for us to arrange a process to send the patch to me in another means?  If Google Groups blocks attachments and I'm getting massively confused with the content being pasted inside the posting, we need to derive another means of communicating. I can share a different email address which is already being heavily spammed...

Thanks,
Ken
