Thanks for being so attentive. Your e-mail was fine, the archives just
mash multiple text-based attachments tagged as Text/PLAIN together like
that, as does my mail reader. 1522 lines of only renaming in part 1, no
wonder I gave up.

I see you've already started re-sending the individual parts as separate
messages; that's nice for initial casual browsing of them, but will get
boring for everybody if you do that every time. If you've got more than
one text file to attach, for future updates you might consider a tar
archive of them to keep them running together in the archives. Once
you're putting stuff into an archive, might as well compress it too,
particularly for a patch of this size.
