Netscape is bad news for patches, both sending and receiving. On send
it wraps lines and doesn't let you see the wrapped version until after
it's sent - on receive it likes to convert tabs to spaces. Avoid.

I haven't tried mozilla yet. I should, because if Mozilla is similarly
broken at least we can fix it.

Kmail works fine.
