How did you save it? Cut-and-paste by any chance? Saved it on a Windows box then binary tranfered it to the FreeBSD box? Neither of these method are a good way of handling patches in email. The first tends to replace tabs with spaces, the second introduces carriage returns. Since for some reason I havn't actually seen my post come through there is no way I can see what various MTA have done to it on this list however I regularly send patches.
