I used command "mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] < patch" to send myself an email. And then I used mutt "v" and "s" command to save it as a file, say patch.saved. I noticed that all the tabs in file "patch" are replaced by blanks in "patch.saved". I tested that the "patch" can be applied correctly but the "patch.saved" can not. Then I manually replaced all the blanks in "patch.saved" with tabs, and then it can be applied without an error. my muttrc file is only a few lines: set send_charset="us-ascii:utf-8" set editor="vi" set spoolfile=imaps://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:993/INBOX set folder=imaps://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:993 # Default From: my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Lin >
