LOL.  Seems you're not using pan, or for that matter, any other yenc-
understanding client, to read the list. yenc is a primarily news-based 
attachment format and few mail clients understand it, but the attachment 
should work fine for anyone using a yenc-understanding client like pan to 
read the list, perhaps via gmane.  The attachment came thru uncorrupted 
here, so both gmane (which I posted thru) and the listserv carrying this 
list are apparently yenc-clear.

Meanwhile, seems the attachment post made it thru before the text message 
explaining it.  By the time you get this message, you should have the 
text message the attachment post was a followup to.  I was distressed 
that the text message hadn't made it, but "pulled headers" again, and it 
was there.

The text post has the patch in-line, as well as an explanation, so that 
should cover it.  If you don't get it by the time you read this, and are 
curious enough to ask, I'll resend.
