I had to hunt for that remark among 70k of verbatim patch. Not only is
it okay to trim portions of the patch that you are happy with, but
trimming actually helps focus on the problems. Just be sure you leave
enough context to help the readers pinpoint where the problem was (as I
did here, by including the @@ line at the start of the problematic hunk).
I completely agree with your point, but if you have a good mutt
colour setup, it is fairly easy to scan through large mails and
distinguish new text vs quoted text at a glance. I even have
some magic settings to highlight patches in email
