Actually it was a little while ago when I published this change. I can't remember what I tried but I can remember that I couldn't easily get patchbomb working, so instead of getting bogged down with something else I just used Apple Mail as you said.

Anybody have a set of instructions to follow to get patchbomb to work on an out of the box OSX install?

Thanks!
