Extract the patch from mail body?! Of course, you don't need that.
You have SVN revision in both mail subject and body.

To get full diff for this change, just do:

svn diff -c <rev> http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/
(it's the same as `svn diff -r <rev-1>:<rev>')

And it's for all files at once, no `dance' is needed at all.
