If it's only the occasional patch - (I see you're on gmail too), show original and copy-and-paste into an editor with tabs set up appropriately. Works for me.

Junio's blog[1] shows he's looking at patchwork. Personally I think it would be fantastic to have a public patchwork server available. It might avoid the chicken and egg problem in that it's currently easier (for some people) to get hold of a patch to play with / review only after it's accepted.

That said, I think including a link to a repo/branch from which the current version of a patch series could be fetched would be an amazingly useful addition to most [PATCH 0/n] cover-letters...
