Subject: Re: [PATCH] Use open_memstream(3) for more efficient asprintf

That's strange, I looked on the archives and it looks like my
attachment was in a weird format, something my email client did
perhaps. Here it is copied I'll also try again with .txt extension so
my mail client is less confused hopefully. Sorry about that.
