I used command "mutt lintan2@xxxxxxxxxxxx < patch" to send myself an email.
And then I used mutt "v" and "s" command to save it as a file, say patch.saved.

I noticed that all the tabs in file "patch" are replaced by blanks in 
"patch.saved". I tested that the "patch" can be applied correctly but the 
"patch.saved"
can not. Then I manually replaced all the blanks in "patch.saved" with tabs, 
and then it can be applied without an error. 

my muttrc file is only a few lines:

set send_charset="us-ascii:utf-8"

set editor="vi"

set spoolfile=imaps://username@server:993/INBOX
set folder=imaps://username@server:993

# Default From:
my_hdr From: lintan2@xxxxxxxxxxxx


Thanks,
Lin
