I'm not sure what the problem was you were fixing.  Only the third
line is correct.

The patch should be included in the email.  It needs a proper
subject, a patch description and a Signed-off-by line.

Email the patch to yourself.  Save the raw email including headers
and everything.  `cat raw_email.txt | git am`.  `git log -p`.  Look
through the patch and verify that the patch description and
everything looks good.
