It seems that the googlemail web interface inserts line feeds after about 70 characters, which leads to the corrupted patch. I try another mail client for the next patch to send...

Hi Bjoern,

things are a bit more formal in Linux land.

After you reviewed a patch, and you are happy with it, reply to it by adding

Acked-by: Your Name <your_email@somewhere>

or

Reviewed-by: Your Name <your_email@somewhere>

right under the Signed-off: line.

Before you do that, read Documentation/SubmittingPatches, chapter 13 (using Acked-by) 
and chapter 14 (using Reviewed-by) to understand what it means.

Thanks,
Guenter
