There's two bits there - one is that it's adding to the mail
volume when people chase up, the other is that if things have
been lost then almost always the answer is that I don't have the
patch any more (or it'll be error prone to find) and it'll need a
resend so it's better to chase up by resending the patch since
that can be acted on directly.
