You are right in that Mail.app seems to eat up the whitespaces in the patch. I emailed the patch first to myself, and everything seemed fine, should have tested it with git-am rather than eyeballing it, sorry.

About the name-munging, that didn't happen for me, after i fixed the spacing with Vim, the name shows up correctly in Git log. It seems that the email is ISO-8859-1 encoded, I'll enforce UTF-8 encoding next time if it helps, and I'll see if I can send an inlined patch which works.
