So better copy&paste the diff output into the mail isnstead of attaching them, or use another email client." Recomended way for patch generation: # cd /cvs/php.net/pear/NET_Ping/ Retrive the last version # cvs update Make the modifications you want # editor Ping.php Check if there were no modifications while you was modifing the file. If there were, re-adapt your patch to this last release. # cvs update Generate the patch against the last CVS version # cvs diff -u Ping.php > ping_diff.txt Attach the ping_diff.txt in your mail to pear-dev. Never paste the content of the patch inside the e-mail because most clients wrap long lines and will break the patch. Tomas V.V.Cox
