Correct.

Thanks for your comments. After opening the patch file, you have move
the cursor to the top of the buffer and run diff-hunk-next (bound to
M-n by default) to show the highlights in Emacs. If you still cannot
see the highlight, you may want to change the theme to the default one
and remove custom color tweaks (I had once used a theme which does not
highlight anything).

Best,
Hong
