According to the headers of your E-mail, you are using MS Outlook to
send your patches.  Outlook commonly mangles patches, unfortunately.
It is not a very good e-mail client.

I suggest one of two options:

1) Setup an alternative mail client.  There are many to choose from
which will not damage your patches.  I personally like 'mutt' (which
you should be able to install on your linux machine).   Others may be
able to recommend ones that work for them; in general, I think you
will find that most e-mail clients that run on Linux will be suitable.

2) If you plan on contributing to the linux kernel in the future, it
may be worth your time to setup a repo on github that Greg can then
directly pull from.  All you would need to do is send Greg a "pull
request" indicating the URL of the branch in your repo that he should
pull from.  Greg can then pull directly from your repo, bypassing this
issue entirely.
