** The patch itself.
Please use "Context Diff" format.
If you are accessing the Bazaar repository, make sure your copy is
up-to-date (e.g. with `bzr pull'), then use
bzr diff --no-aliases --diff-options=-cp
Else, use
diff -cp OLD NEW
If your version of diff does not support these options, then get the
latest version of GNU Diff.
** Mail format.
We prefer to get the patches as inline plain text.
Please be aware of line wrapping which will make the patch unreadable
and useless for us. To avoid that, you can use MIME attachments or,
as a last resort, uuencoded gzipped text.
We prefer to get the patches as plain text, either inline (be careful
your mail client does not change line breaks) or as MIME attachments.

** Document your changes.
Think carefully about whether your change requires updating the
documentation. If it does, you can either do this yourself or add an
item to the NEWS file.
If you document your change in NEWS, please mark the NEWS entry with
the documentation status of the change: if you submit the changes for
the manuals, mark it with "+++"; if it doesn't need to be documented,
mark it with "---"; if it needs to be documented, but you didn't
submit documentation changes, leave the NEWS entry unmarked. (These
marks are checked by the Emacs maintainers to make sure every change
was reflected in the manuals.)
Any change that matters to end-users should have a NEWS entry.
Think about whether your change requires updating the documentation
(both manuals and doc-strings). If you know it does not, mark the NEWS
entry with "---". If you know that *all* the necessary documentation
updates have been made, mark the entry with "+++". Otherwise do not mark it.
