Maybe we should enhance git-applymbox to detect whitespace corruption in 
particular, and output the User-Agent header (or if that does not 
exist, the Message-ID header; thanks, pine) on error.

Alternatively, SubmittingPatches could include a big fat CAVEAT, and a 
note that the submitter might want to send a single SP to herself, save 
the received mail and check that all is well, prior to sending the first 
patch. I mean, well, erm, it is sort of, uh, annoying, to send out a 
corrupt patch *speaksofyourstruly*.

If you have some trouble sending them out, you can use
	git format-patch --mbox
and
	git send-email

which seems to consistently do the right thing.
