It seems the problem is format=flowed (RFC2646) and patches don't mix well
as both use whitespace at ends of lines for their own purposes. Though
tabs at ends of lines shouldn't be causing problems in this regard. (I'd
suggest in any case that patches shouldn't add lines with whitespace at
the ends of them outside testsuites, but where an unmodified empty line
appears in context and so the patch has a space inserted at the start of
that line, sending in format=flowed still means corrupting the patch by
removing that space or having it treated as flowing the text.)
