Of course, I just saved the original message when it arrived... :)


But, I was just able to open one of the patches using Firefox, selected 
the contents so it was copied to the clipboard, and then pasted that into 
a new document under vi (vim).

I saved that doc, compared it to the original one that arrived from the 
list, and except for a header that is not in the one on the archive, and a 
couple of email addresses that are munged in the archive, the two copies 
are the same.

Meaning that I was able to get the patch with the white space preserved,
