Yeah, and here was me thinking it was me that was broken :)

send-patch-mechanism (See below)

There is a way to quote the part thingies which I can't actually
remember at the moment, and no message doesn't automatically quote them
because it is perfectly legal for you to manually insert a part
definition. Therefore we're left with option b) Lars' send patch is
broken as it should really look for and correctly quote the part things
in patches. Still since he's given us pretty characters and pictures
I'll let him off ;)
