Bill, thanks for the attempts and for your patience with the spam 
filter.   Stuart M is looking at whether we can relax the part that was 
causing problems here.

Also, just wanted to let you know that it attached for me (as a 
not-logged-in user) when I used a ".patch.gz" filename (and the 
uncompressed .patch failed, probably the same way it failed for you).  
I'm guessing the .sgml extension in your compressed version was also 
throwing up a flag, so that's why that didn't work (and, since it's a 
patch, anyway...).  Anyway, there's a non-modified (but compressed) 
version on there, now, so should be easier for us to find and apply when 
we get to it, so your work on it is done for now.

Thanks, again,
Mike
