You sent the complete file, try sending just the patch, this way we
can all see the actual changes you did.

You can get the patch as noted in
http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForPatchSubmissions point 5. Doing
mtn diff  or diff  -u (I prefer diff -Naurp, it works anyway).

Also, the usual way to send patches is trough the trac system.
