Well, when using gmail's web interface, when reading a mail, there is this option to show the raw mail text (headers+body) with the 'show original' option.

If you do 'save as..' in your browser to save what you get with that, and try to do git-am on that file, it fails because it starts with some whitespace.

With this patch git-am works on these files.

So, i'm not using mailsplit or any other mail tools at all, just my browser and git.
