This makes it much easier to review things since it's easier to tell if the patch does what it was intended to do and means that if one part of the patch casues problems it won't hold up the other parts.

You are expanding the size of the mode variable and adding a new mode in
the same patch.  These are two separate changes and should be in two
separate patches, as soon as you start writing "Also..." in a changelog
that should be a warning flag.

Please fix your mail client to word wrap within paragraphs at something
substantially less than 80 columns.  Doing this makes your messages much
easier to read and reply to.
