> Please have a look at the attached patch and let us know what you think.

Thanks.

This is a substantial contribution, for which we would need a
copyright assignment from you.  Would you like to start your legal
paperwork at this time, so that we could accept these changes when it
is done?  If so, I will send to you the form to fill and the
instructions to email it after filling.

Thank you for your interest in Emacs.
