[syslinux] How do you prefer patches to be submitted?
How do you prefer patches to be submitted? Inline or as attachment? To this mailing list or to another address? Thanks in advance.

This means that it doesn't matter if they are inline or an attachment, but they need to be a text file (text/plain), not something else. Quoted-printable and base64 is also really messy to deal with. This mailing list is the best address to send them to. Most suggestions in the SubmittingPatches for the Linux kernel apply here, too: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches;h=HEAD -hpa -- H.
