Patches and Windows

[sa...@onlinecol.com]

Hello,

I am working to get SA 3.10 working on a Win 2000 server.  I had Sa 3.04
working well previous to this upgrade.

The problem I now have seems to be the CRLF problem that I have found
posting about.

There appears to be patch(es) for this problem, but after searching, I am
unable to find out how to apply the patch in Windows.

The patch(es) are I have found are here:

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4363

I am needing help to learn how to apply the patches in windows.  Also,
there three patches listed for this bug.  Not being familar with SA's
patches, I am wondering if they are cumulative so I only apply the most
recent, or should I apply all three listed on the page related to this bug?

I'm not normally the type to ask for help and usually muddle my way through
eventually.  However, I have spent days so far and in the meantime have no
spam scanning and I am now starting to babble incoherently and have evil
thoughts.

Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated!  - John Winters

If I recall correctly, the patch specifies a line number follow by lines
to remove (marked with -) and lines to add (marked with +). I've always
just manually removed and added the lines myself.

I don't know whether the patches are cumulative.
