maybe it's the mail client that messes the patch up? Are you using git-send-email ?
Yep, it's git-send-email. Maybe you are running into this mbox/eml issue [1]? Thunderbird seems to save plain text files with DOS line endings when saved as .eml. I can reproduce the errors you got with an .eml file. When saving as .txt it has the correct line endings and the checkpatch script gives no errors or warnings.
If this resolves the issue with the DOS line endings, I'd resubmit with the corrected subject line.
Cheers, André
