Omit the file name and let patch read stdin, paste the patch portion of the
mails, and ctrl-D (twice)?
(For some reason, patch - and only patch - seems to eat the first ctrl-D.)
Since those mails were formatted by 'git format-patch' and have no
intrusive characters, you could probably just feed the whole mail to
patch.
patch -p1 < the_mail
