Actually, I just relooked at the email I sent and it looks correct (properly indented, etc.). Any suggestions for what might be going on?

Thanks Konstantin. Yes, I'll resend. Not sure why gmail is removing whitespace when I sent in Plain Text mode.

Sorry, don’t know either.
Wonder, did you see this:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-format-patch.html
There is a section about different mailers, etc.

Ultimately I'll need to figure out how to properly configure git to send these directly instead of handling them more manually. The examples I saw assumed you were using a gmail.com<http://gmail.com> email rather than a corporate email hosted via google apps.

The patch itself looks good to me.
Though it seems something wrong with formatting - all lines start with offset 0.
Probably your mail client?
