If this patch is not unapplyable, then gmail seems not bad for
delivering patch to vger.kernel.org.

 Gmail (Web GUI)

-Does not work for sending patches.
-
-Gmail web client converts tabs to spaces automatically.
-
-At the same time it wraps lines every 78 chars with CRLF style line breaks
-although tab2space problem can be solved with external editor.
-
-Another problem is that Gmail will base64-encode any message that has a
-non-ASCII character. That includes things like European names.
+Works.  Instead of Rich formatting, select Plain Text when preparing patch.
