I agree, everyone uses CVSup nowadays. Do you think you could attach the diff as plaintext? Gnats doesn't seem to want to recognize your attachment and pass it on.

I hope that will work, since it's the first time I submit something and wasn't really sure how to do it best ;-) Furthermore, I hope that there won't be problems attaching this diff as there have been (I think) two submissions for changes to the same chapter today. If there are problems with this, then I can wait until the other submissions have been added, then re-do my changes on the updated chapter and re-submit my diff.
