What's wrong with using an attachment?  The whole email can be
fed into patch(1) (or git-am, whatever) and either will do the
job.  But here it goes, anyway, with one possible caveat - I'm
not sure anymore it will apply, since now I used cut-n-paste.

fix 2Gb integer overflow in in VNC tight and zlib encodings

As found by Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> (excellent
catch!), when amount of VNC compressed data produced by zlib
and sent to client exceeds 2Gb, integer overflow occurs because
currently, we calculate amount of data produced at each step by
comparing saved total_out with new total_out, and total_out is
something which grows without bounds.  Compare it with previous
avail_out instead of total_out, and leave total_out alone.

The same code is used in vnc-enc-tight.c and vnc-enc-zlib.c,
so fix both cases.

There, there's no actual need to save previous_out value, since
capacity-offset (which is how that value is calculated) stays
the same so it can be recalculated again after call to deflate(),
but whole thing becomes less readable this way.

It's easier for reviewer because it allow people to view and comment
the code directly in a mail client.
The prefered way to send patch is `git format-patch` and `git
send-email`. If you use these two tools, you can be sure that all will
be ok :).

I can usually easily review patches sent as text/plain attachments
directly in my client.  But granted, I tried to reply to my own
email with attachment and Thunderbird does not show the patch text, --
it usually does.  I'll investigate it.  But the patch is shown
inline as the rest of my email, so it's still easy to review it
(but not comment on individual parts).

In any way, this patch is too simple to comment on it.

Now please show me how I can use these tools when replying to
a discussion and keeping other comments and thread flow.  Yes
sure this can be done, I can cut-n-paste all sorts of original
message into the editor executed by git send-email, or even into
command-line of git format-patch, but this is just too much work
compared with regular reply in usual mail client and attaching
a single file.  The latter is much more productive and as easy
to review and apply, the only difference is - as it turns out -
in-line commenting, but I'll check this separately.

What I miss in Thunderbird is a way to _insert_ content of a
file into the message, -- a combination of cut-n-paste and
attachment.  With sufficient care I can keep tabs after
cut-n-paste, but this is fragile.  If I can solve inline-
comments in attached patch that'll be ideal variant.

And I think that the reasons you stated above are not
sufficient to warrant re-sending this very patch as
you asked me to do... ;)

Thanks!

Hi,

You can use "git send-email --in-reply-to=<messageid>" to reply to a thread.

Do not see any thing personal here, I'm just quoting
http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch:
"Send patches inline so they are easy to reply to with review
comments. Do not put patches in attachments".

I mainly asked yo to re-send it  so Anthony has less chance to miss it
if he is cc and if the patch is inline :), that's all.

Thanks,
