I read and write mail on a Windows box.  I run git-cl on an Ubuntu box.  I 
therefore have to take the mail message in Windows and save it to a text 
file.  The default text file format used by my mail client is not recognised 
ob my Ubuntu box as text, so I have to convert it.  I then need to copy it 
over to my Ubuntu box, at which time it would not apply.

Also note that the client saves only the text in the message, not headers - 
so copying and pasting and saving as are identical on my machine.

So I grabbed it from Rietveld and it applied.
