2.) Open up the relevant files and make the same changes to them that you made to your messenger.jar files.
3.) Use your CVS program's diff utility to create a file that contains information about the files you changed. This is usually done with a command something like
<tt>cvs diff -prU 8 mozilla/mail/ > myPatch.diff</tt>. See the [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Creating_a_patch DevMo article] for more details on this step.
