I did it this way.  still botched it.  your order-of-operations 
heuristic is a good one, and would have prevented this mistake, except 
in this case, cc'ing Alexandre and Ove was an afterthought, hence the 
cut-and-paste boo boo.

Like I said before, I am aware that a majority of the folks around here 
prefer the inlined patches, and I want to make you happy... so I'm 
compromising: small patches, or patches not intended to be applied are 
gonna get inlined.  Big nasties are going in as attachments until 
Alexandre refuses to accept them.  In the future I will mark all 
attachments for inline display, which should satisfy most readers, 
without driving me insane in the process.

stubbornly yours,
