"email transit" does not mess up whitespace, though perhaps your web browser does (when you copy-paste the patch from the web interface). If the patches were submitted as PR attachments (using 'send-pr -a'), you can download them separately from the web interface, and avoid the entire copy-paste issue: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dports/113799 Finally, if you do end up with a patch with messed-up whitespace, you can still apply it using 'patch -l'.
