Or it makes you add (add-hook 'diff-mode-hook (lambda () (setq show-trailing-whitespace nil))) to your .emacs if it really bothers you. This is not "to turn off the alarm mechanism", but rather than having it activated for patches is a mistake, because patches are not text (as David has said). > I've used this format for many months now, for patches that I send via > email.

Again, I agree with David: I've installed quite a few patches, and I've never reported back problems with them if I could trivially fix them. Lack of complains is not a positive proof. Juanma
