The patches should be files, which can also be downloaded at the archive of guix-devel if mailman does not do something weird with the messages. I found that copy+paste occasionally changed intendation and other things, so I use an email client. Well not an email client, more a reader of a database which manages emails. There's a vim interface too, if you prefer that. I just looked at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-08/msg00605.html and mailman does indeed move it into the message, no files to download. I don't know.. You should get the files when you use an email client. If not, I have to change the mime type I use for the patches I append. Currently I use the default of notmuch/emacs. -- ng0 For non-prism friendly talk find me on http://www.psyced.org
